DIY F5 amp rectification questions

I've been slowly accumulating parts for a PassDIY F5. Got pretty much all of it figured out but I'm not to sure what direction I want to go in for the rectification. I have rectifier boards from a CViller group buy on DIYaudio, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed trying to source the correct parts for it with no specific BOM when using it for the F5.
Are there appreciable performance differences in using rectifier board like that versus using bridge rectifiers and calling it a day?
From what I've found cost-wise to populate the boards, I'm looking at around $50. Two bridge rectifiers I might be in for $10. No too pressed about the $40difference, but I would lke it to work without a bunch of trial and error and Mouser orders.
The manual for the F5 is attached if it helps.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Ben

IMO the bridges wil be just fine,thats what was used in schem in the manual.Save the fast recovery diodes for a possible tweak down the road.
