SCCM: Application deployment vs Package deployment with requirements and prerequisits.

$

Hey,

My organization is in the process of implementing a new remote networking solution for all employees, however some employees require additional software vs others. What I am trying to find out is if there is a way to have one package with supersedes and requirements that we can use to do a massive deployement. 
Here are the different scenarios with order of installation:

Financial group Desktop:
1.Install New solution
2.Install Configuration
3.Install Token Authentication 
(nothing crazy)

Financial Group Laptops
1.Install Token Authentication
2.Install New Solution
3.Install COnfiguration
4.Un-uninstall Old Solution
5.Un-install Tunnel Guard application (requires a reboot, that's why it's last). (this is the application that would be deployed with requirements to go back up the chain of supersedes (meaning, deploy 5, but do 4, when 4 is triggered, it does 3 first, etc...)

All other laptops
1.Install New Solution
2.Install COnfiguration
3.Un-uninstall Old Solution
4.Un-install Tunnel Guard application (requires a reboot, that's why it's last).(this is the application that would be deployed with requirements to go back up the chain of supersedes (meaning, deploy 4, but do 3, when 3 is triggered, it does 2 first, etc...)

Because of the different requirements, is there a way to have one deployment with multiple deployment types to say based off:
1. Computer types (we have a naming convention that identifies laptops and desktops.
2. Only install certain pieces of software (Token validator in this case if financial application is detected on the machine).

Or should I create different applications for each case with different collections or go with 3 different packages and collections with install this package first set in the package deployment

Thanks for your help.
