Looking at the diffferent build I see that some bolt the derrailleur direct to UDH mount and others have an extender in between that shift the derailleur back a little. What are the benefits of doing so?

I think UDH is SRAM and direct mount (ie the one with the extension) is Shimano ?? Consensus is that Shimano will ultimately move to UDH so it becomes a truely universal standard.

Some better photos of the "final build" - although I'm planning to overhaul the drivetrain a bit - adopting a 38t oval offset chainring and a 11-50 cassette - both in transit.
I also ordered this frame from surprised store and I'm waiting for the delivery. I only get silver screws from them. Where did you get the black ones?

thanks! Did you use metal washers for the screws, if so any good source?

You can also get button head titanium screw for about same cost.

I originally switched to black screws and washers but I'm looking to swap them out for rubber plugs/grommets to reduce the chance of rust and also weight savings  :D ;D ;D. I've tried 4.5mm plugs but they are too small and will need to try out 5mm.

I put these nylon bolts in the unused mount points of my frame. Lightweight, and won't rust. Size M5

I tried Nylon screws for blank threaded holes in a frame years ago.  I left them in the frame for several years.  When I tried to remove them, the Phillips head stripped out.  It turned into a medium mess drilling out the nylon and then tapping the 5mm threads to get the rest of the Nylon out.   I believe that Nylon absorbs water over time and they can swell/lock  into the threads.   I recommend that you remove them on a regular basis and/or use an anti-seize compound.   
These days, I use a dab of silicone RTV to plug holes that aren't used.   (Easily removed and stays in place unless you are using a pressure washer or rub on the RVV while cleaning)
