On that one, however, I only tried to take out the zerg bases on normal, because the hard achievement was to not lose or salvage any buildings, and I was spending all my time trying to keep all my bunkers and depots alive.

You don't know how much time I spent trying to take out these goddamn bases on hard....

Raven's missile and auto turrets are cool and all, but I only really find them useful in multiplayer. The point defense drone can find some use in campaign, but I just found the vessel to appeal to my playstyle more than the raven.

Auto turrets are actually pretty good in the campaigns imo.  I generally take a few Ravens on the attack, and when assaulting heavily defended enemy bases, proceed to drop down like 10+ turrets in their base.  It's like improvised offensive towering and the turrets also help to distract the enemy and soak up a lot of the damage (they're reasonably tanky, and each Raven can drop 4).

Healing would probably be quite useful, but detection wasn't really needed in the campaigns at all.  The enemy pretty much never ever used cloaked units (the Terrans hardly ever had wraiths/banshees/ghosts, and even when they did, they didn't cloak them, and the only DTs in the game were all on your side).  And later on your command center can sweep anyway.
