Which IMS update kit?

I am doing research on the IMS update kit for a 2004 996 Porsche my friend just bought. I was not aware that there are multiple choices out there from stock, to slightly beefier bearing, to custom oil-fed bearing system.

What do most people go for?

And the overall procedure is?

1. Drop the gear box (it is a Tip in this case)
2. Lock the cams in place
3. Access the cover plate
4. Remove the bearing with special tool
5. Install new one
6. Replace cover plate
7. Undo cam locks
8. Check timing
9. Install gear box.
