Actually, LWT is great for vocabulary. I didn't use any flashcards for French, just LWT. It's like a frequency based SRS with lots of context. Just make sure you type the Spanish base form into the romanisation field as well and don't skip words that you only understand because you just saw a different form of it 5 minutes ago.
That's the dictionary I've been using. It's pretty good, but I would prefer something a little better. And I haven't found anything I really liked for German or Finnish yet, but I also haven't looked so hard. And I haven't looked at Japanese or Esperanto yet at all.
I've been inputting all the base forms of verbs, but I'm not sure it's really all that necessary for Spanish, at least not at my level. I don't have trouble with conjugations or knowing what form something is. But I add them anyway, as well as marking everything with tags. I was actually reading your log a bit to see how you work with it in order to get some ideas. For German, I will definitely need to make sure to write in base forms and maybe even indicate how to form plurals of the nouns and any irregular conjugations of verbs.
