My tablesaw was the best investment I ever made (well, my wife made as it was a present) with woodworking. It is the single most used tool in my shop. Build yourself a cross-cut sled and get a good blade, you won't regret it. I have a low-end Cabinet Table Saw and am glad I didn't get a Contractor Table Saw.
Miter saws are nice for framing & trim work assuming you get the right blade for trim work- most come with a rough carpentry 80 tooth blades so for trim work you probably want to replace the blade. Most only have a cut size of about 6-8 inches, so don't expect to cut your shelves on it without a LOT of flipping. Sliding compound Miter saws will give you a bit more cutting length (12-18").
Circular saws are great for breaking down larger pieces (such as full sheets of plywood) into more manageable pieces. They also can work well for other cuts if you buy a Straight-edge clamp. In fact, I'd recommend you buy one capable of 48" cuts for breaking down plywood, then you could also use it to set up your cuts for the shelving. Makes things much more repeatable than trying to eyeball it by hand.
