Default Fiberglassing tools

I am looking for recommendations on basic powertools required for fiberglass repair. I realize I need some type of dual action sander, but I do not have my own pneumatic compressor (but I can borrow when necessary). Can I get away with a corder Ranom Orbit sander to do both heavy work and faring? I have a porter cable buffer (model???) and I generally use that for waxing. I will be fixing some gouges, removing gelcoat on bow (like hammer did) and then perhaps compounding and waxing the hull. So, any thoughts on the best tools for the job? I saw a Porter cable 97355 that may do it.
