If you just play basic strategy and get comped, it will be slightly +EV long run if you include the value of the comps.
Your plan sounds good, I don't know what the games are like out there, but it sounds all right. Just so you know, counting is not the only way to beat blackjack. There are other methods as well, such as shuffle tracking, tracking aces, spooking the dealer, and other things. I don't know too much on the subject, others here would be able to tell you more about those than me.
