What type RAM should I use ?
You should use a type of RAM that will work with your board. Consult your motherboard manual or find an online manual to determine what memory modules are supported by your particular motherboard.

You should use a VLB card that will work with your motherboard. Read the motherboard manual as it will (or at least should) contain all the information you need to correctly install your VLB card into your particular system.
Is there a VLB sound card ?
Possibly. I don't know of any, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense to me as ISA was basically the to-go-to slot solution for sound cards at that time.
There may be some combo cards, but it is probably virtually impossible to be not unlikely that you actually have such a combo card in your stack of spare parts already, else you'd not need for to be asking us this question in the first place.
I have a UMC VLB controller or should I use another type ?
You should consult your motherboard manual, in case you are uncertain as to which controller cards are compatible with your particular UMC VLB controller.
It is advisable to also consult your UMB VLB controller's manual.
Should I use a SCSI controller ?
Only if you intend to use any SCSI stuff.
