I suggest you actually try to narrow it down a bit. That's quite a few fish for a 90 considering the size that some of them get and the ammount of bioload they'll be producing. Voltains get big. When I had one I ended up moving everything else out of my 90 in order to give it more room.

A mixed trigger tank would be nice. Provide lots of rockwork and make sure everyone is well fed and you should be fine.
+1 on the Groupers, +1 on less (BIG!) fish in a 90 gallon. Volitans get to 14" man, plus those long spines...

+1 on a mixed trigger tank! Triggers are sooo cool, it would be nice to see someone devote a tank to them.

Only problem I see other than mixing triggers is the lack of available real estate. 90gal is just too small for that many BIG fish. Go with less is more, you will need a NASA class filtration system otherwise. Puffers get HUGE & are the messiest little !@#$$!ers. I've seen them basketball sized while diving.
Luck

Valentini puffers are nice and generally nicer than others to your crabs and snails...although it's on a fish by fish personality basis. They also like to jump out of tanks so keep a lid on it.
