You have basically outlined the reasons why I went with Ridetech for '90 Silverado build. For my truck, the difference in cost came down to the value I put on a complete kit, where everything works together.
In hindsight, I could have piece together other stuff on the cheap, but who knows what I might have ended up with. More importantly, what would I have spent "re-buying" parts because I wasn't satisfied with what I ended up with.
I'm not sure what kit you are looking at, but for my platform, the value of the adjustable Fox shocks more than make up the difference in price of buying the parts from someone else.
