Confusion about various environmental graphics mods

I am trying to put together a visual mod pack, and I am confused about the relationship between:

-Spectra

-Scatterer

-EVE redux

-Blackrack volumetric clouds

How do these mods differ from each other? Does it make sense to install them all at once, or will that result in redundancies or inconsistencies? What is the best combination to use, in your opinion, if performance is no object?

I am already planning to use Parallax 2, and understand that it is for the ground, while the four above are for the atmospheres and views from space.

I recommend starting with Scatterer and EVE. They do more than just improve the view from space.

Scatterer: adds atmospheric haze, ocean waves, and more. Distant mountains will look washed-out similar to real life. If you ever build submarines the underwater view will look great.

EVE: Clouds. They are visible while landed, flying, and from space.

Depending on how you install mods Scatterer and EVE will include default settings for the stock planets. Spectra provides different settings than those defaults.

The 4th mod you mentioned is available only by monthly paid subscription. Forum rules forbid discussion of paid mods.
