i have the same set up more or less, my hotair station has the soldering iron built in, i use jewellers eyeglasses http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eyeglasses-Jewel...B007XPLC5M
as usb microscopes are crappy and unintuitive as you looking at a screen and not what you working on
kapton tape is a must, cover everything that is at risk of blowing away or falling off (trust me there's nothing worse than lifting the pcb to have a look at your handy work and seeing a resistor fall off a vanish into the ether)
suction tool is not needed, well i have never needed one i use a scalpel knife (wedged under the chip) to raise the chip while heating to remove, when resoldering i tack a corner align the chip and tack the opposite corner
