Is this a good algebra/geometry progression?

[Sweet Home Alabama]

I'm researcing options for algebra/geometry. My oldest used MUS for grades 1-5 and is using Horizons 6 this year. I think we'll need a pre-algebra course or maybe take 2 years to work through Alg. I. How does this progression sound:

Pre-Algebra: (grades 7-8)
Either Jacobs Alg I (up to 2 years) or Lial's BCM/LoF

Geometry: (grade 9)
Jacobs

Alg. II: (grade 10)
Foersters

Any thoughts? That is as far as I've gotten. We need a gentle beginning for me and for my child. The biggest concern is the lack of a solutions manuel for Jacobs alg. I.

Does "Math without Boarders" work well with Jacobs?

If we used LoF, I'm not sure which to use: decimals/fractions, beginning algebra, or the soon-to-be-released pre-algebra.

What else would be good for pre-algebra?

Can anyone advise?
