After an untold number of trigger pulls, probably in the thousands, the trigger return spring on my CZ-75B broke. I'm looking to order a replacement, but am looking at S&H charges higher than the price of the trigger return spring. So what other replacement springs should I go ahead and purchase now, before they break on me too?

I stock spares for every spring in my CZs. Plus extractors, slide stops, firing pins and guide rods.
If your 75B is currently stock I suggest you get this kit https://cajungunworks.com/product/54420-ultra-lite/
plus the trigger return spring that you need https://cajungunworks.com/product/rptrs-reduced-power-trigger-return-spring/
IME with several CZs, the Ultra-Lite kit will dramatically improve the trigger pull, and will make the slide significantly easier to rack (not that they are really hard to rack with the stock springs).
For just a spring kit, you could get this one and enjoy a lot of the benefits of the Ultra-Lite kit and the trigger return spring: https://cajungunworks.com/product/75-series-complete-upgrade-spring-kit/

At one point CZ earned a reputation for poor spring quality. It used to be a good idea to simply replace all springs in the gun and magazines as soon as you got it home. I haven't heard as much about that in recent years. But if I owned a CZ I'd replace them all just to be sure.

Good info. Do you have a source for getting the replacements? I already have sent mine back for FTF. Seems ok so far.

Mcarbo, IMO offers low hanging fruit. Places like CGW and CZ customs redesigned and improved the CZ platform. Without them I don't think CZ would enjoy the cult status they have today.
Just go to CGW.
You'll want to buy the floating trigger pin.
The OEM pin is not really reusable.
For mag springs, if you have the metal bottom or mec-gar +2 exts just get Wolf. If you have the newer plastic retainer mags get S&W MP mag springs.

I ended up buying the 75 series complete upgrade spring kit with floating trigger pin from Cajun Gun Works as well as an extra recoil spring. Installation was pretty straight forward once I figured out the proper orientation of the trigger return spring. The pistol is back in operation. Here's hoping for another couple thousand trigger pulls before anymore problems pop up.
