Derf,
I like Gerard's version with the Datsun clutch - i have never seen Bill's.
Gerard re-engineered Paul's kit to make very nice improvements.
I have been a long time friend of Paul's and know Bill bought his parts after
his stroke..
The rivergate uses the stock clutch - The clutch is not as big as the Datsun.
I do know a few people with rivergate and they seem happy with there set up.
I agree with you - the Datsun clutch is a better match for the Datsun 5
speed.
You have to modify the fly wheel so it does cost a little more over all.
Below is a link to Gerard's web site & set up. Does Bill have a web site?
Is there any pictures of bill's set up & a list of parts?
It would be nice to have pictures & a list of parts to compare the two kits.
You can see for youe self that Gerards kit is very high quality from the link
below.

I would prefer the Morris service kit or the Billgaria, although the
Rivergate kit is good, too.
They all work but some differ in little details like starter placement
and clutch.
IIRC, my preference was for the Datsun clutch instead of the Mowog clutch.
I would talk to several people and get more opinions.
