Default Kohler K161, Refresh, or Rebuild Kit?

Today, i parted the Engine of my "O", the Condition was better than i thought.

The Motor was not running, because Coil, Battery, and some Wires are missing.
My Original looks like longer stored outside.

Now, i want to make the Engine new. In ebay i saw some Aftermarket Kits for my Engine.
What is better, Refresh Kit, with Rings and Gaskets, or Rebuild Kit with Gaskets, Oil Seal, Rod, Rings and Piston?

Are the Aftermarket Parts good Quality, or should i take Kohler Parts?

In the inside of the Cylinder, i found a little Hole in the top area, but it goes not trough. How can i repair this, must i weld it?
What do you think about the Piston Play in the Pic?
