I usually do the following.
Engine oil and Filter every 2,500-5,000, No more then 6months ( Depends on what type of driving, ie track VS street)
G/Box oil - 10-15,000 ( or before a long trip )
Diff - same as gbox
Coolant - Every 12months (or if it gets hot for any reason)
Brake Fluid - Every 12months
Spark Plugs - When ever i service it, or do a big trip, or put it on the dyno
Fuel Filter - 10-15,000 (unless i am suspect of bad fuel) EFI filters, carby filters may need more frequent replacing
Call it all a bit frequent but as im in the trade i get most oils / parts at a decent rate (or free) and my time is free. But as im either always breaking stuff of upgrading/fixing things most items will we renewed or replaced more frequently.
I tend not to bother with cleaning plugs, unless im out and about and desperate. At around $3 each i prefer to slot a new set in, but it all depends on how over fueled the car is ect. Longest id leave a set of plugs in a motor for would be 20,000km and even then id check the gap at 10,000.
Hope this has been some help to you.
