Final weight of what you described depends on a stock basic grip weight, but it might be around 340 grams.
340 grams sounds perfect for me if I don't have to mess with lead tape. My target weight is 11.9 to 12oz. I'll probably string it up with Babolat Xcel 17 and if that's underpowered, then I'd use X-One Biphase 17 instead. String dampener wise, I use whatever the racket comes with and in this case it would be the little W dampener.
I'm flexible with the leather grip type. I'm avoiding thicker leather as that rounds off the bevels too much, so thin seems to be the choice. Of all the thin leather grips, which one is the heaviest? Then I'd wrap the leather with Wilson's white overgrip because it's reasonably tacky and not too thin. I like some cushioning over the leather.
