are all your appliances in good working order? Make sure. It's a pain in the arse to have to constantly fix (or wait for shite to be fixed as a tenant) when you could easily just replace with a new one for the most part.

New fridge

Aging washer and drier but they are great.

Oven and dish washer work great.

I figure leave the oven and dish washer.

Would it be easier to leave the appliances up to the tenants? This is something I am struggling with.

don't say that... People like me have agreements with Landlords. Pretty standard. Net 30 terms (landlord has thirty days to pay bill). Tenant can contact me directly if preapproved. Pre approved amount set. (usually like $115-130)
In some cases tenant can opt to pay and have the money taken from rent. If a major fix, then landlord would be advised before repair. Average repair costs for an oven or dryer or washer is around $80. And if you aren't worrying about it and have a contract with a good company that will give you until you collect rent to pay, it's pretty much a win win. Much cheaper than replacing appliances every time something breaks.
