Any special requirements for cable+housing or can I just go ahead and pick up a jagwire ripcord derailer kit?

You can use what you want. If you use the Jagwire make sure you crimp the ferrule on the hub end, otherwise you'll certainly pull it off the housing when you remove the cable for rear wheel removal. That is why the Alfine stuff has a metal ferrule solidly crimped on one end of the housing.

Very limited options, Ergon and Portland Design make a set with one short grip and one long grip. Cane Creek has pairs of shorties and pairs of longs, buy both sets and you'll have two pair. I now buy standard grips and cut one side to fit the revo, that way I can buy cool grips.
