I strongly advise the FP + AM planet combo, it's as close a match in free speed and torque as any gearing setup you can get. It also requires the least amount of work possible (Saves some weight too!).

FIRST selects the kop methods through methods not exactly known to us, half tradition, half what is available is my best guess.
