Forgot to mention
I plan on separating the neutrals and grounds in the box.

You may want to re-check the paperwork and confirm the distinction between
main and sub-panel purposes with SquareD.  Your configuration appears to be
for use only as the main panel.  A separate buss bar is often provided or
sold as an option when the panel is used as a sub.  In the U.S., the only
place where neutral and ground should come in contact is at the main panel
although the neutral is also earth-grounded upstream at the serving utility
company transformer.
