SD, for most users I'd have thought it was rather fraught suggesting they pick which updates to install.
Not really - if you've just gone through the exercise of identifying which updates to un-install, it's hardly rocket science to find the same numbers in the updates offered for new installation again, now, is it?
To keep it simple, I would say always install updates described as "security update for...", never install hardware drivers from MS update (always go to the manufacturer's website for those) and, as dazdaz1 says, you can look at the optional ones and see what they do and if you want them or not.
The optional updates for upgrading to Windows 10 are pretty clear when you look at the description.
