Default Gears and install stuff?

In the very near future I am going to be purchasing some FRPP 4:10s and I need to know what all I need along with the ring and pinion.

Do I need the install kit with all the bearings and shims? Or do I just need the basic kit?

Will I be less likely to get gear whine if I get the master bearing kit?

Also how much gear oil do I need and what weight?

And I know I need friction modifier, but how much and and can anyone recommend a brand?

Or is there anything I am missing and need?

Thanks guys.

Granted I haven't done my Mustang yet, I did change the LS fluid in my truck. For the friction modifier I shopped around and the Motorcraft stuff from the dealer was the same price as the stuff at O'Reilly's. I went with Motorcraft, expecially since there was a TSB out on a vibration in the rear end of the F150's due to bad clutch packs. When I do the Mustang, I'm planning on doing the master kit since I'm really not a big fan of reusing bearings. I see it as a little extra insurance that the job will go smooth and you won't have to redo it when you get a vibration. Definitely do the FRPP gears though, I've heard lots of stories about the Motive's whining in S197's.
