Default Need advice RE: spay

Just got back from the vet discussing having Lulu spayed. I feel good about the vet's office I am using. They took a lot of time with me this morning & didn't make me feel silly for being so concerned about this. Anyway, They gave me some "optional" things that I want input on.

1.pre-op bloodwork
I know pre-op bloodwork is a must. I had already planned on having it done. What I need advice about is which blood work to have done. I have been given 2 choices...vet said either is sufficient as pre-surgery bloodwork. Here's my choices:

PCV & Chemistry 10 panel $54.00
OR
Chem 17, ElectroLytes & CBC (said this was very comprehensive) $109.50

2. IV Fluids
I'm thinking this would be good. She will have been fasting since before 10pm the day before. I'm pretty sure I'll be doing this. $39.50

3. Laser surgery
I'm not familiar enough with this to know if it's worth the extra cost. $65.50

As I stated, I KNOW the pre-op bloodwork is necessary & I WILL be doing it, I just don't know which one to choose. Thanks for the help!

ETA: I also need suggestions for onesie type things to use instead of the E-Collar.
