I would go with the stew mac kits, they are very high quality(but I'm sure the martin ones are nice too). I'm almost done with mine:

thanks...did you need to buy extra parts though, or did everything needed come in the kit?

you need to buy tuners, and the supplies for finnishing, and various glues and tools.

No matter what kind you buy, you will probably end up putting more money into it-

what tools did you need extra?

clamps(a couple different kinds), straight edge, a power sander (but you could get by with just sandpaper), and a tool you need to shape the bridge pin slots correctly but I forget the name of that at the moment.
