"Free" inspection questions!! Help!!

First off, car has 83K (2.3t 2000) and I'll probably drive it another 12-15K. Heres what indy recommended after "free" inspection:
Indy showed PCV update (ed4?) needed b/c soft hoses and engine oil looked bad ($450). Is this needed? Does this just mean I change oil every 5K instead of 7.5K?
Also: Replace valve cover gasket b/c it was leaking oil into spark plug well area or outside other part of engine ($160). Indy indicated if leaking into plug well could cause premature plug failure. Needed? Do I care?
Left front sway bar link worn and noisy over bumps. Indy wants to replace both fron links ($271). RF control arm bushing cracked - Indy wants to replace both rear bushings on fron control arms ($170). Again, do I care?
Power Steering Pressure Hose leaking fluid causing low fluid level ($500). Needless to say, Indy wants to replace. Can I just add ps fluid occassionally??
Oh yeah, he also wanted to charge me $539 to replace front pads/rotors. Had done at Brakes Plus for $290.
Thanks in advance for help!!!!!
