One thing is can say is since you have chosen your first fish to be a damsel in a 29 gallon tank, you will hardly find any fish among your list which the damsel won't attack when introduced to that tank.
Also my personal opinion would be a 29gallon would a very bad choice for predatory fish because of their heavy bioload unless you have heavy filtration system.

The damsel is actually pretty peacful and I had a fish with him at one point but it died due to a powerhead accident. And I realize the predator tank isn't a good choice.

If you go with a royal Gramma or similar dottyback type fish be aware that they are SUPER aggressive to other goby fish
 I had one kill my hector goby over a hole in a rock the gramma wanted to sleep in.

More often than not, fish that have aggressive tendencies will be much more aggressive when housed in a small tank. Always add the most docile fish first and the most aggressive fish last. The Sergeant Major is not a good fish choice for a 29 gallon tank as they get much too large and much too aggressive when they do get bigger even if it is docile now. I would try to find another home for that fish and start from scratch. A Snowflake Eel would definitely be squishy in a 29 gallon tank and I would only recommend that if it was the only fish in the tank and you did big waterchanges to keep the water quality good since they do eat a lot (and then poop a lot).
