Hi c4dm4n
Welcome to the world of Ultimaker, as Didier mentioned the PTFE coupler is a good idea, although I managed over 500 hours before needing to replace that. But yes makes sense to get one along with the printer to save on the shipping. Personally I would order filament as I managed to get through the free roll they sent with the printer pretty fast. 3D printing is very addictive.
Enjoy your UM2

Hi and welcome to the forum,
Usually they send a roll of clear blue PLA with all printers.
For spare parts the only one i can think of being useful is a spare Teflon insulator or two to avoid the transport fee that is quite high. The other parts you mention are not really usefull, they usually last long.
Now that's my opinion and from my experience, the only part i had to replace in 9 months is the Teflon
