Swiss Pass or not? Really Confused.

Hello

Below is my Swiss Iten we are spending about 12-13 days in Switzerland, but many of these are hiking days. We have been to Switzerland before but this time we are taking our parents. I was thinking of getting the 15 day consecutive pass because its pretty similar to the cost of the 8 day flexi pass, but there are so many options I am confused. I really can't figure out what makes the most sense :( !
I can also give the details of places we are going to in Switzerland but have not ironed out exact details of each day.

1) Day 1: Zurich Airport to Lausanne travel by train
2) Day 2: Lausanne to Gruyeres
3) Day 3: Lausanne to Lake Geneva or the famous Castle and Vevey
4) Day 4: TBD, maybe just be local and explore Lausanne
5) Day 5: Lausanne to Wengen (and will do part of this journey on the Golden Rail route)
6) Day 6: Explore and hike around Wengen, maybe take the cable can to Mannlichen
7) Day 7: Wengen to Interlaken area
8) Day 8: Wengen to Lauterbrunnen and Murren/Gimmelwald side - a bus ride and then hikes
9) Day 9: Wengen o Harder Klum, Grindelwald First, and Schydigge Platte (still need to determine the order and exact details of Day 6-9)
10) Day 10: Wengen to Zermatt
11) Day 11: Hike around Zermatt
12) Day 12: Hike around Zermatt
13) Day 13: Maybe do a train ride or hike more around Zermatt
14) Day 14: Take train (simple train) or the scenic Train from Zermatt to Zurich
15) Day 15: Leave from Zurich for home

Thanks so much in advance for all the help

Mo'pak's info about coverage and discounts is outdated. Buses and Schilhornbahn are not half price with a Swiss Travel Pass - they are fully covered. In addition, all coverage and discounts are offered only on the counted travel days of the pass, so the 15 consecutive day is a better fit than any flexi version of the pass.
