I'm sure there are others more qualified to answer this but....a few questions for you:
1) Why didn't saxophone work for you? Did you try both the alto and tenor (the obvious 1st 2 before baritone and soprano)?
2) If your goal is to be a playing professional and/or teach at a conservatory, why not focus on just clarinet and bass clarinet?
I truly believe without the saxophone, the flute wouldn't buy you much in terms of doubling.
The double bass is a great instrument for a variety of genres (classical, jazz, country). The real problem is transporting the thing. My experience with it is being the dad of a bass player. However, like the flute, it won't buy you much in terms of woodwind playing and teaching.
Just my thoughts.
