For the cable guide on top is there any advantage of using a d-ring instead of this keeper plate? My only guess would be that the thimble might fit through the d-ring for easier setup??

Also, you might already own them, but I didn't see wire rope cutters (c7's or c9's) on your shopping list, make sure you have a pair.
I've never done that. I was taught to use a 1" to 1.25" flathead (slotted) bolt thru the face of the 1x-and-canvas-flat with a washer and a hex nut on the back of the iron.
1. How do you get the thimble through the D-ring?... Now there is a way to use the d-ring on top AND have the flat hang correctly. You use your pre-built rigging packages, shackle off to the bottom of the flat, come through the top of the D-ring, out the bottom, and then up to the next d-ring. It basically forces the GAC to hold the d-ring flush to the piece. You have to watch as your picking the piece to ensure none of the d-rings jam up, but it does work.
I've not compared prices, but I would suspect a Verlock or similar product from Griplock (the actual manufacturer of Ver Sales' Verlock) or others, would be price-comparable to a turnbuckle, shackle, and installed eye with thimble.I don't think I have that kind of budget but those sure look nice!! Is there a cheaper source for these?
