Well, my experience has been that normally, you need something that provides the functionality of all the things you've listed.
You need weather protection/tarp.
You need insulation/UQ-TQ-pads-sleeping bags.
You need something to carry it all in-pack.
Typically, you need to buy things that meet ALL of these needs.
I don't know what all you have now...but it looks like you've got at least some of what you need already.
Make sure you've got all these needs adequately covered to begin with. Then, if you have sufficient means, upgrade ONE of these items at a time to your "end goal" for that particular type of gear. Your prioritization might be based off of best improvement, least cost, most comfort improvement, etc...
Example...a walmart blue pad performs the same basic function as a Kick *** quilt underquilt...just not as nicely...but much more cheaply. Start with that if you need to, upgrade to the quilt when you can.
A cheap backpack does the same thing as a $250 Osprey pack does...but the Osprey does it more comfortably. If you need to, start out the what you can afford, then upgrade to what you want later.
So if you have a SUFFICIENT backpack, tarp, top insulation, and bottom insulation today...then start planning out what you want to upgrade each of them to eventually, figure out the costs, and prioritize according to what's most relevent to you. Then upgrade as funds/comfort/etc... allows you too.
For example...I had a SUFFICIENT piece of equipment for each category. But...I wanted to upgrade each piece...I started with the sleeping bag because it was the cheapest/easiest upgrade to do. Next was the backpack...because I had SUFFICIENT gear already, but upgrading the sleeping system and backpack had the best weight reduction improvement for me.
So, get a base system together cheaply/easily...work out what upgrades you want to make over time...and then prioritize those upgrades and buy them accordingly.
