Did you buy it and hand it to him? I’m trying to figure out where to get my stuff.
I selected the outlet and circuit breaker.
I also added Environmental Protections waveform corrector and ground filter.

Which EP models did you end up with? I’ve looked at them before but not for a few years.
EP-2050 at the panel or Digiplug stationary plus 2750 for ground?

It’s the 2050 on both phases with a 2075 for each ground circuit.

I’d be curious which circuit breaker you decided upon, too, vee.
The load center (breaker panel) brand and model typically dictates they brand and model of breakers one must use. Anything else would violate code and put your home owners insurance coverage in jeopardy.
Staying within the breaker model family, one can usually choose a higher CIR (circuit interrupt rating) that is really just an indication of the build quality for when the breaker has to handle a fault and whether it physically comes apart in the process or not. More often than not, they’re both made on the same production line and some will test at a higher CIR and get labeled as such. It’s not terribly relevant to how good the contacts are, it’s more about the durability of the housing.
So, long story to say one typically doesn’t have a choice of breaker unless you’re changing out the entire load center to a higher quality model. All copper buss bars is probably one of the more effective upgrades.
Silver conductive paste can be very carefully added to each external connection to vastly improve conductivity for little money and risk. Just be careful as it can migrate if too much is used. Think of it as liquid wire in paste form.

@vee - If I am reading the 2050 installation correctly, it’s connected to a dedicated 30 AMP circuit in your panel. Is that correct?
Thanks
I generally keep the OxGuard outside in the compression fittings for drop to service feed and lugs in the meter base, but never place it in the panel.
