>a proposed budget of $500
Now THAT is what I call a shoestring budget.

You only need to be on the lib to get rid of those problems. Mare Orientalis and Mare Muscovensis look like good choices.

That would reduce the baseline needlessly and complicate transmission of the reception a lot. Mare Orientalis is in a convenient place.

The last mission had a geologist (selenologist?) and it was from a scientific point of view a success. Trouble is, many of the samples were stored incorrectly and have oxidised and been damaged by atmospheric gasses.

Also only a few sites were sampled. A deep core sampler in and outside the mare would be interesting. The centres of the huge impact basins, some masscons, and especially the south pole depression would be very interesting. This would bring more light on the Late Bombardment theory.

Next He3 levels are interesting as well as general mineral prospecting.

Yes. But not the way you think.
