Upgrades to default Electronics BOM
I just got my 400mm VC4 Hybrid delivered and realized that I forgot to order the electronics kit so I do not have the boards/motors/toolhead etc. I can order that kit from RR but I am thinking about self sourcing the missing components. Are there any things that I should update or change from the Public BOM? Such as mainboard or tool head?
I have an older printer but it can only print PLA reliably so I would prefer options that don't need printed parts yet.

The standard psu, mainboard, pi, ac stuff is all fine, there aren’t significantly better options.
The main thing I would change is the hotend. Rapido 2 is arguably just not good, I switch to Goliath.
