I've had good luck with ProKing, but unless you're going for performance, I doubt it matters much. I know I'm going to get a lot of flack from recommending this, but I bought all of my parts on Ebay. I went with Borg Warner solenoids and frictions. I'd recommend Sonnax Lube tube retainer, transgo shift kit, superior solutions AFL valve (because it works and you don't have to get the valve overbored and sleeved by a machine shop), and sonnax boost valve. I can't remember where I got it, but there's a company that makes an "extender" pin for the forward servo pin that reduces the risk of it breaking the forward band (you do need to file this down though because it comes way too long). I'll see if I can find it again. I also replaced all friction bands, hardened 4th, needle bearings, bushings, etc. Look on Sonnax's website under their "vacuum test" section. It will highlight troublesome valves that should be thoroughly inspected and cleaned for binding. (wish I had one of these vacuum test kits)
