The Grogalizer might be a good resource here too. If you click on the ingredients in the drinks you have yet to make which call for the odd ingredient, you can then see the grade given and comments of those who have already tried it. This way, before you buy a bottle of Stroh to make one recipe, you have some idea if it's great or if it sucks and it might let you decide when or if you want to invest.

Licor 43 I suggest getting. It's a unique flavor and makes some good drinks.

I am enough of a nerd that when I started the Grogalizer, I actually went through the books by hand to tally the number of recipes every ingredient appeared in to get a weighted list of things to buy. Oy! I can do that with the Grogalizer now if anybody wanted it. I have enough in stock now I am not too worried about those things. There are so many recipes to make with what I have that I have many months of sampling before I would need to invest in a new liqueur.
