Which is the best anti rattle kit to go for?

Is it the one from i6 which is a replacement vanos piston bearing ring or the kit from X8R which provides an additional washer (but keeps the original vanos piston bearing ring)?

I would like to hear about the different experiences on fitting each one of these and any problems especially when refitting to Inspect piston bearing axial play. From what I understand if this is incorrect the bearing has to be taken apart again and the additional ring/washer fitted has to be lightly sanded?

I don't like the thought of opening up the bearing for a second time to do this. So which would be the best kit to use to prevent this rework?
 
Can anyone share their experiences of using either of these Vanos anti rattle kits or any other kit. Did you have to take the bearing apart again and sand down the the disc/washer and refit again?

Any feedback would be helpful.
