I will answer you second question first. The difference between the three Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2" is the rotor finish. The differences are as follows:
part # K2HR35D, has a Dacromet coated hub-rotor
part # K2HR35DS, has a Dacomet and stainless steel coated hub-rotor
part # K2HR35DDKG, has a Dacromet and KodaGuard coated hub-rotor.
The brake kit with the Dacromet and KodaGuard will have the best corrosion resistance between the three. With regard to what brake is better between the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit. part # K2HR35DKG, With regard to which brake assembly kit is better, I think the Kodiak with the Dacromet and KodaGuard will resist rust and corrosion better.
I have included product description links and video demo links below.
