I just wanted to comment that you are way more detailed then me. My strategy is to ensure that I have enough fluids to get between aid stations (1 or 2 handhelds depending upon time between aid stations), and that I carry enough gels and salt tabs to get me through the race or to the next drop bag location. Generally I figure one gel every 60 minutes, 1-2 salt tabs as well in the same time depending on conditions. I really should be more detailed but think keeping it simple helps in my case.

^^This sounds like me. I wouldn't over-think it. Carry some gels and make sure you have some electrolytes and fluids. Grab a few things at the aid station and keep on moving.
LB2
Next time, weigh yourself at the start and finish. If you are only down a couple lbs or less, then you are maintaining equilibrium. If you are the same or higher, then you are probably drinking too much. If down more than a few lbs, then you aren't drinking enough, going too fast, etc. Most people do well at an ultra if they maintain weight to within a few lbs on the low side of where they started.
On sunday I did a ~3 hour effort and I liked how the fueling went, . . . Am I missing anything? Do I need additional electrolytes? Any advice/critique is welcome.

Thanks seilerts...I'll have to make that part of my routine. I guess squeeze it in before the part where I devour everything in the house.
