As you progress Duranium and Sorium also become important as both your initial supply will start to drop, and as you start building and flying more ships you'll start to need a lot more Sorium.
The amount that you need the other materials varies on a case by case basis, as the different paths you decide to emphasize (missiles, terraformers, shields, lasers, etc) require different materials.
