Default Engine rebuild options…

I’ll probably have to rebuild the Kohler K161 in my IH Cub Cadet 70 this Winter. Anyways, I was wondering what a good choice would be for a rebuild kit. Here’s 2 of the several that I found so far:

https://isavetractors.com/ultimate-e...hler-k161-7hp/

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...R4P27MWC&psc=1

The Isavetractors one is probably a little better quality. Plus it comes with a new ignition coil; I already bought one last year and installed it and it works, but it was a cheap $30 DZE brand one off Amazon. Plus it comes with a new carburetor which would be nice.
Which one would you guys get? Opinions? Any other good options?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
