2000 S Trans removed for IMS bearing replacement, but what now?

Hello all, I decided to replace my IMS bearing myself on my 2000 Boxster S Tiptronic with about 75,000 miles. This is just preventative maintenance, my last oil filter exam did not show anything. A $800 or $2000 "high end" retrofit kit is not really in the cards and was pretty well decided on the standard $189 kit from Pelican. However I decided to wait and place the order after I lowered the trans incase I broke anything, or found anything else I needed to change on the way.

I have 2 questions:
Looking at my flange (see pictures) I believe it indicates that I must have a dual row, is that correct?
And if so, are there any other dual row options out there that would be better than the Pelican $189 system at a similar price point? Changing out a dual row for a single row with a spacer just doesn't feel right, or am being stupid?

Bonus questions:
What else do you all recommend me changing while im in there? My RMS appears fine, but I think I will change that. I am also planning on doing the air oil separator as my intake plumbing is very oily. Are their any bolts such as pressure plate bolts that I am not supposed to reuse?

Apologies for posting on this topic, but after spending too many hours looking for answers I just could not find what I am looking for. Thanks in advance.
