Before you changed the starter did you check the old one to see if it was the problem?

If the battery and starter are good and you can jump across the terminal at the starter and it cranks over the engine then I'd look at ign switch, while the problems you stated seem to lead somewhere else, I would start with Batt, ground, starter, switch in that order.

Clean your battery terminals. I've had plenty of problems with both my xj's where the battery cables are tight but there isn't a good connection so get the $1 battery terminal scuffer and give it a go.
