After some research, I am changing my mind and inclined to use the 74HCT273 (*) as registers.

I need the Reset input and the 3 state output.

There will be:

So I'll need 14 of these guys., so far..

(*) Edit: It's not 74HCT273, the right IC is SN74ALS874BN, not very easy to find on stores, but will save many ICs, since it's the only with both Reset and 3-state outputs.
