I've run PEX in a shop and a 1 bath cabin but want to double check for this project:

I took the image below from a previous post that has the same basic idea, 3/4 flow through manifolds, with 1/2 home runs...

2" PVC underground - 1" copper out and under crawlspace - 3/4" to manifolds - 1/2" to fixtures.
Using iBox valves.

Questions:
1. Bathtub valve: Do I run 3/4" PEX? Then 1/2" copper to tub spout?
2. Shower valve 1: Do I run 1/2" PEX? This will have a rain head and wall head.
3. Shower valve 2: This will have wall jet sprayers and a shower head... maybe I should run 3/4" PEX to this valve? Then 1/2" PEX or copper to the different outputs?

Any other advice is welcome.
Thanks you!
