Grip - don't care
Saddle - whatever's on sale that is larger than 142mm width
Pedals - Flat: Chromag Dagga, have them on two bikes right now, they are great
Pedals - Clip: Time Speciale 8 or 12, depending on what I can get a good price on at the time of building up the bike
Grip - Currently OneUp, but might try some RevGrips as the wife seems to like hers.
Saddle - BikeYoke Sagma
Pedals - OneUp Composite
Currently paying close attention to saddle choices. My butt seems to have stopped liking my go-to saddles lately :(
Trailmaster For MTB and Flite for road / gravel are my usuals.

I see your not as "princess and the pea" as I am.
Mind you, I recently rented a DH bike at WBP and got along splendidly with all touch points. Maybe the more squish you got, the less touch points are a concern. Hmm.
the really slim ODI Ruffian lock-ons and then I depend on the padding of a watson work glove
the WTB Speed is medium wide medium padding and is my go to
I was using the WTB Volt thinking it was my go to but realized it was painful
but really both are entirely subjective choices
^taint that the truth
Grip - Oury push on
Saddle - Chromag Trailmaster LTD
Pedal - Shimano XT Trail
Grip - Chromag Clutch
Saddle - Chromag Trailmaster LTD
Pedal - One-up Flats (I have both the composite and alloy versions - I prefer the look of the alloy versions but the composite ones are way better value and don't creak. They feel pretty much the same).

The asses here have probably all been on a lot of saddles. All the saddles listed above were well liked liked by my butt anyhow. Trailmaster got moved to a few different bikes.
Last couple years I've been buying Specialized. Bridge is my favorite saddle I've owned up to this point out of all the saddle brands and models I've tried. Mine is a fat ass 155 I believe. I don't think I'll be experimenting anymore honestly.
Ditto grips, I've spent so much time and money trying so many grips, and there are loads of good ones. The last few pairs I've bought were all thick soft Deathgrips. Think I'm done searching there too.
Pedals I've done hardly any experimenting, rode the same few low profile concave flats happily for eons. Last while I've been clipped in with Mallets and they feel like home to me. For flats Vaults were the last two pairs I bought, though from my current clipped-in perspective all flats now feel like a step down in performance for almost all riding.
Grips: Prefer Odi's small diamond shapes, but anything would work
Saddle: Chromag Trailmaster for me as well. Would like to try the Lift for comparison.
Pedals: RF Atlas V2, altho it might be "too much grip" for me. Also been trying Spank Spikes for a little less grip, maybe like those even more.
Grip - ODI AG1
Saddle - Specialized Power Mimic 142
Pedals - Yoshimura Chilao w/ Dagga pins
Grip - Race Face Chester 34mm
Love the combination of overall soft feel with the slot/flange to keep my hands in the right position
Saddle - Specialized Power Arc Expert 155
After fighting with saddles for a long time, these just work. I’ve been experimenting with a Power Pro (non arc) and a Chromag Mood DT for some bikes and situations.
Pedals - Wolf Tooth Waveform for flats, Shimano XT for clipless.
