Seeking Advice on Rebuilding a D5 site in D7 from scratch

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this and possibly help me out!

I have a site built in Drupal 5 that I am now rebuilding from scratch in Drupal 7. The site is a collection of literature study guides on books like The Great Gatsby and so on. I'm looking for advice on the best Drupal "tools" you would suggest if you were going to rebuild this site now (the "tools" I used to build the original in 2009 are now way outdated). For instance, would you build this site with Views, Panels, neither/both, or other modules I may not know about?

Here are some basic requirements:

1. Each guide needs it own custom menu
2. Each guide needs its own pager
3. It needs to be easy to add new guides to the "system" (some dynamic way of doing this would be ideal, so as to avoid creating a new view/pager etc every time I add a new guide)

I'm planning to build the new site with the Omega theme to facilitate a responsive design as well.

Any advice would be most welcome and appreciated.

Thanks!
