Kits are generally over priced, very rarely have the exact items you need and the controller is usually low end.
Panels are a commodity, shop by price per watt for best value.
Controller is where you should not skimp. More expensive units are more reliable, have better charging algorithm, adjustable voltage, temperature compensation etc. Do fully read the manual before you click and buy.
Matching the components (panels, controller, wire, etc)so they work together is very important to get the value you expect.
