After a bit of research, it appears that all of your equipment will work with the MX remote with the exception of the Bose system(more on that below). The DVD and DSS receivers, while not in the database, are easily learned into the software over IR. That is the beauty of a true universal remote, just because something is not in the database doesn't mean you can't control it. You will have to take some time testing existing codes in the database(i.e. test various Pioneer DVD players and odds are, one of them will use the same codes as yours), or learning the codes from the OEM remotes. Once again this is done fairly easily but it can be time consuming.
As for the Bose system, while it supports the functions you want, the OEM remote only uses RF. This becomes a problem in that while the MX is also an RF capable remote, the RF sections of the remotes are different. When you get the MX, you can load a file for one of the lifestyle systems into it, switch it to RF and see if it will talk to your lifestyle system directly. The odds on this working are not good, but it does happen(the new Pronto remotes will talk to the LG 3200 DSS receivers over RF quite well, but for other devices, they need the RF station to convert the signal to IR). If the remote does not talk to the lifestyle system directly, you will need the C-1024 controller which converts the IR output from the MX into the serial connection for the lifestyle system. This is most likely what you will need to do.
The end result is that you can get one of the MX packages, but you will most likely need the 1024 module. The manual for the 1024 explains quite a bit:
