Geoff I'd add accupells to your list. I've found them the best in quite a number of 22 legal limit rifles I've owned and/or shot.

Making a mockery of growing old gracefully since I retired
Don't use them much myself, but JSB, AA and Falcon Accuracy Plus must be on the list.
For older British .22"s, Defiant Vintage. And Milbro TR. Apparently, Superpoints can do surprisingly well in them, but I have not tried them in about 25 years.
For anything: Superfields, Superdomes, Hobbies. R10s and Gecos in .177".
Bisley Mags for pneumatics/CO2.
Boxed Premiers also feature in my stash, particularly useful in .20" (Diana 45, Sheridan C9, Crosman SSP250).
These days, for my plinkers, I start with Hobbys and Superfields. If either groups well (they usually do), I stop there, because I am too busy/lazy to chase fractionally smaller groups.
Obviously, if I was back into longer-range pest control or serious competition, I'd do things differently.
I've found accupells to be poor in every rifle I've had,
JSB's have to be the first pellet to try easily available, top quality and cheap if buying 10 or more.
Nothing wrong with your lists, they're very similar to mine.
If I'm shooting an older air rifle, I'd initially be reaching for Superdomes particularly in .22 cal. and for even older stuff the Defiant Vintage.
I'd probably add the Air Arms fields to your .177 list in both 4.51 and 4.52 and possibly the Express !
“An airgun or two”………
JSB and, er, that's it.
I've honestly found JSB to be the best in just about everything and seldom bother trying much else.
I will give an honourable mention to Accupells in .22 - some of my Air Arms rifles have shot very well with them (although the .177s seem to be crap in everything).
And H&N FTT in .22 since some of my HWs have been very good with them.
But even then JSB have been just as good.
