He also brought up the possibility of replacing the IMS bearing with a retro fit kit from LN Engineering. Seeking opinions from anyone familiar with that.

I went through the exact same process on my 2003 Boxster a couple of years ago. You are looking for peace of mind - spend a couple of extra bucks on the LN bearing.
As far as flywheels go, smart guys like Jake Raby say to stay away from single mass flywheels. The M96 engine has no external harmonic dampener - that is what the dual mass flywheel does. You would be putting your crankshaft at risk.
