Fight 1
Auto-Deploying would only help in one possible scenario: Preventing the player from leaving the initial position -- and only if MCV repack is off or the Con Yard doesn't have UndeploysInto= set. The placement problems could surely be overcome, as long as the start position isn't just a hilly field of trees and rocks. (While this is easily solvable for the mod's own maps, this can't be guaranteed for custom maps at all.)
While I don't like the additional micromanagement Storage= requires, it is a strategic addition to the game, as the resource Money can be blown to hell just like Power. Super rich players will be more vulnerable to lose credits if they aren't protected properly and building silos takes up more space, time and money.
I'm not fond of the idea to have Slave Miners return to some building to unload. They already are buildings when deployed and the Storage counter would be global for a player, thus the miner wouldn't hold it itself. And if the deployed miner would have Storage, then undeploying it would remove global Storage from the player which would possibly lead to lost money. But nonetheless, Storage.
Fight 2
Being able to move items in the selection list would be a nice little feature, as it is difficult to add an Allied and a Soviet country right now and putting it to the others of the same side. It should not be too hard to do.
Paradrop planes are good, but not that good. And I predict they won't be in the next round anyway. Thus: Country sort order.
