My vote (for what it's worth) is that you get a ZX4/ZX5 SES and maybe do the moonroof later. You get cloth heated seats, powered everything, heated mirrors, TCS, ABS... and if you get the ST you get all that with the bigger motor and the adapter SVT suspension.
I really can't emphasize enough the need for a rear sway in the Focus if you want to drive "spiritedly" / aggressively. If you want to retrofit a rear anti-sway with a S/SE model Focus, you need to add a rear subframe connector that has provisions for the anti-sway mounting bolts.
The SES or the ST are the way to go here. :)
There were a few SESes(eses?) at Stockfish a couple of weeks ago. Check DRyanC's thread for the links to the stock items.
