Regulator/Filter Selection Advice

So I've got my dream shop built and now ready to work on outfitting it for what I need to support my projects.

I have a champion 7.5HP Compressor and want to run the rapid air 3/4 garage system in my shop.

My use will be mostly air tools and airing up tires, etc. at the 3 drops that come with the rapid air. The final drop (and furthest from the compressor) will be used to run a small HF blasting cabinet and some painting.

What are good brands of regulators and air dryers that will work for my use?

Most of the regulators I see do not read past 150 while my compressor maxes out at 175. Is this something I need to consider in the regulator selection?

From reading some of the threads here, It looks like I need to run to a filter first then to the regulator is that correct?

From the compressor, I have a 3/4 ball valve, then a 3/4 x 3ft hose going to the air delivery system mounted on the walls.

That is all I have so far.

I hope I have provided enough info to get some advice on what will work for me.

Thank you in advance.
