For an amp that big,I would recommend no less that 2ga supply with the big three being done,at the minimum of my opinion.You can do some shopping on ebay for a kit that meets your budget,as the kits can get expensive these days.Is one brand better than the other?Sure..no different than a chevy and a GMC,just a bit more than the average.If not in comp,Id just make sure to get Oxygen free copper power wire,and at least an ANL fuse holder under the hood with a min of 150amp fuse, and run it to at the least an AGU dist block.I say 2ga,but most are gonna tell you 0ga.I run 2ga, and I have ran 4ga on 1-125x4,and 1-1600x1 with a 255amp alt,and an extra redtop batt,and had no issues to speak of,but 2ga will be great for future power hungry new amps,just as well as )0ga,if keeping the vehicle for a while,but can be removed for a future vehicle usage also, verses the old school amps that I will soon be putting back in.Even though that amp in reality may only shell out approx 1200 watts total,and @14.4v readings, in which standard vehicles voltage will be around 13.5 or less.So Id do 4ga,still with a 150 amp ANL fuse holder, to a Dist block,I think it will be just fine, and save you some money.From what I have experienced
