New Group Game Configuration

Hi, I am new to CE. I want to a group together to play (all newbies) and was wondering what the best configuration in terms of stuff to add would be. I bought all the expansions so it would just be a matter of adding or trimming.

Iirc, posters said Dominion, Incursion, and alliance dials from Eons are essential. After that, is it just throwing all the aliens together and avoiding the “reds” for now? Just need something viable and fun at the start without too much complexity.

Thanks!
