I think you should add nRelate’s Related Content plug-in to this list. I have used this on a number of my WordPress blogs and they recently released a version for Blogger that looks great. You can learn more about the plug-in here:

Full disclosure: I am friends with the founders so I am a little biased in this recommendation but honestly, it is a great plug-in that has gotten me some solid results. Thank you!
