As I can see there are only the Light Ore Mining Unit and the final harvester to experimentate on.
Is that right then that the only resource I need to be perfect is:
Metal, Chemical and Low-Grade Ore?

Not just metal, but STEEL. Top-quality steel can be used on 100% of the resources in the light ore mining unit and over 60% of the resources in the final craft. Ore and chems make up the rest.
NOTE: The ore unit makes up the potential BER. You still need to experiment the final harvester to get the max BER with the given ore unit. So if your ore unit is less than optimal (say a 4), the need for top-quality resources in the final craft are less. You can usually get away with 600-700 quality items in the final craft with a BER4 ore unit and still hit the 8 on a medium.
Tip: Buy the chemicals you need from the bazaar. You can usually find good quality stuff for 2-3cpu. Or, find top-quality UT/SR chems one day and mine it for a week, stockpile about 200k units, and use it for nearly an eternity.
