The problem is less that I don't know what packages you use. The problem is
that I am a heavy TeX user and always have the full package installed. So I
cannot tell you for sure whether all those packages are included in BasicTex.

Also, MacTex corresponds to TexLive but with more OS X integrations (a special
editor etc.). OtherSo BasicTex is a texlive distribution for OS X that installs
a minimal profile. 

In my experience, MacTex does not differ from texlive. It comes with everything
you expect (tlmgr, etc.) and doesn't change anything on his own.
