As far as the sync cables, the plain usb cable is all you really need if you want to save a few pesos (sub $29). It connects directly to the bottom of the Axim, and the power plug will likewise go directly into the Axim instead of plugging into the cradle.
It's actually more convenient when picking up the unit while connected, which I do a lot.
The cradle is pretty nice looking, but does nothing besides stand up the Axim (and charge an extra battery if you have one). Otherwise, if you did get an extra battery, you'd have to swap batteries on the Axim and then charge it with the power cord directly. The standard battery lasts a good while, and more-so if you keep the back-light low and the volume down a bit. Might want to try it first, and maybe get an extra battery later if you find it necessary.

Screen protectors ... go with something other than Dell, like Brando ($10us) or WriteShield ($?)

Warranty ... weigh against the cost of just buying a newer improved unit down the road.
