Appfinder and Thunar are core components. The "Printer Helper" (I guess
you're referring to xfprint) has been moved to the archive and will no
longer be part of Xfce releases. Same goes for xfce4-taskbar-plugin,
xfce4-windowlist-plugin and xfce4-showdesktop-plugin which have been
merged into the panel itself.

I'd say thunar-volman and thunar-archive-plugin play a somewhat
important role in the user experience provided by Xfce and thus, should
have higher priority, just like the top four yellow panel plugins which
are probably among the most widely used plugins.

The settings manager (with all the settings dialogs) is also part of
the Xfce core. Some of the dialogs are of course part of individual
components, but the rest is grouped as part of xfce4-settings
(keyboard, display, mouse etc.).
