It doesn't particularly matter what you take for GCSE's. For example I want to be an Engineer and for GCSE's I took Maths, English literature, English Language, Core Science, Additional Science, RE, German, Geography, History and DT Resistant Materials. Basically you need Maths and Science, and since they are core anyway it doesn't really matter what else you take - but top Universities do look for a wide range of subjects as it shows you are more rounded as a person. If your school offers DT Resistant Materials then that is always good.

A Levels is where it its important what you take. If you want to be an Engineer you have to take Maths with mechanics and Physics. The top Universities also like Further Maths at least to AS Level. If your school offers it I would recommend taking Further Maths at least to AS Level, and if you really enjoy Maths to A Level. If it doesn't don't worry, as Universities will still let you in if you haven't had the option. (Though if you had the option and didn't take it you've got a lot of explaining to do.)

The other choices don't really matter as much. Many Universities like a Modern Language A Level, and German especially complements engineering. If your school or University takes DT Resistant Materials to A Level then that is also seen as complimentary to engineering. Universities also like for you to have a wide range of subjects at A Level, so you could take an A Level that shows you have abilities in other places rather than just Maths and Science. Music can be a great choice, and so can Art. Geography or History are also alternatives.
