Really good plan, the 12V bus path will allow easier installation and upgrade, if necessary. Do not bond the 120V neutral to ground, it should float. I used 12V (-) phase bus and 120 V ground to a single frame ground. That was on the advice of one of our Forum electrical wizards. If you will be installing a battery monitor, allow for the 12 V ground to travel through the shunt when locating frame ground. Not totally necessary but I'd suggest to install the largest possible wire to the inverter. Things just seem to work out nicely with the largest wire.
FWIW, I pulled AWG 14 THHN for branch circuits, both 120V and 12V (principally light circuits), mainly because I have miles of it laying around. I don't regret that, it is working well.
Good luck with your wiring project!
