You for sure want some pin mins in different sizes and colors,hook sizes,6,8,10,12,maybe a 14,I rarely go smaller than a 10 unless fish are really being finicky. ;)You can catch all three species you mentioned on these.

For panfish I mainly use a small 2-3 mm tungsten jighead with a 3/4 inch soft plastic grub tipped with a spike or waxie. Prob have 50 different color combos but gold/red or gold/chart and silver/black and white are my fave combos.

Brantner Jigs offer a great selection of panfish jigs and rattle spoons. The prices are fair and the quality is second to none.
You may also look into getting some of the following if you target panfish: Jack Spoons(Pipe Spoons) Jigging Rapalas (Small tipped with meat) Fly Fishing Scuds Horizontal Jigs (Genz Worms etc.)
Northland Impulse plastics are widely available and can all be modified to meet your needs.

I always use Fiska tungsten Jigs and Skandia Tungsten Jigs for panfish. Both are very affordable for tungsten compared to a lot of other brands. Skandia has some pretty sweet diamond nose tungsten jigs that always worked for me. Also I hardly use live bait with jigs, so check out Trigger X - Mustache worms and Custom Jigs and Spins - Original Finesse Plastic. Both produce really well and go great with the Skandia and Fiska Jigs. I will say though, Brantner Jigs makes one of the best glowing tungsten jigs in the market. The red/glow is amazing.

TUNGSTEN, TUNGSTEN, TUNGSTEN!! More expensive, but worth it. That's pretty much all I do for panfish anymore. But will throw in some smaller spoons as well. Both rattling and non-rattling small spoons will be dynamite for the panfish.

Thanks for all the information! Looks like I'll be adding some small jigging rapalas and spoons to the boxes.
