Navdata is mandatory if you are flying IFR.

Navdata is mandatory if you are flying IFR.
Terrain should come with the unit. It is only updates that if you need to, these are rare and infrequent.
Obstacles, for $180/yr, $15/mo, is very good value. I think it would be ill advised to not get these updated, in particular given the exception FLTA available with the 540.
Charts you could live without, but the incremental cost is not much. These are georeferenced, and work well with the regular map (shows you the rectangle on the map), and flips to geo-referenced airport view when you land.
I got the bundle, the whole shot. To me trying to pare down the coverage is kind of nickel and diming, in the grand scheme of things.
