Default Common sockets for a JK

I was wondering if anybody knew some common socket sizes for the JK. I carry a tool roll in my jk with tie wraps, 2 cresent renches, a large flat and a large philips driver, a pair of needle nose plyers, some regular pliers, some vise grips, a extending ratchet wrench w/assorted sockets, some old mtb gloves, and some electrical tape. Ive noticed i dont use most of the sockets I carry and have found myself without needed sockets before. Any recommendations or am I just going to have to ditch and pick up new ones as I go along?

13, 18, 19, 21 are the most common I end up using.
