I have got exhaust and +1mm intake kibble white mainly because they are a popular choice amongst people with more know than me.
My only recommendation, IMO, is stainless over titanium when choosing valves. Others may disagree but my reasoning is stainless bends, (to a degree), and titanium would be more prone to breakage if it fails which would lead to major internal damage if failure was ever to occur.

Default Titanium

Can't add anything to valve insight, but I do know, generally, titanium is light, strong and an almost infinite fatigue life. No idea how that translates into valves. I would think them less prone to breaking.

Heard nothing but praise about this supplier in all of my years in the trade. Stainless is preferable for the KLX-titanium would require new seats and the KLX isn;t suited for hi-rpm use that warrants titanium.
