It's unlikely that you'll fit neatly into one of those boxes (i.e. Niche Miner, SEO, PPC Advertiser or AdSense Publisher). Most of us do a bit of all those things from time to time. However, because you may not be able to afford all the tools recommended, you need to assess what your main role is. What will you be doing most of?
