Heck ... if you are looking for a bulk grain that will cover all of these, I
think getting a cheap American 2-row is probably your best bet. Then you can
tweak your recipes with specialty malts as needed. Generally, most of the
brews above can be brewed well from lager malt, so consider a Durst Pilsner or
similar if you want to pay more money.

With those styles in mind, good German pils and wheat
should fit the bill nicely. I've used Weyermann and
Muessdorffer to good effect in all those styles (though
I brew precious few weizens). Any other grains will be
used in small enough quantities that bulk purchase by an
individual probably would be overkill.
Denny will probably throw in a recommendation for Durst
malts... Denny?

I'm a BIG fan of Durst Turbo malts, especially Turbopils. Very easy to
work with due to the high modification and great flavor.

Some Pils malt will do the trick nicely.
