They should completely drop the D12-3 from the list...unless there is zero wind and one wants a lame-O flight it is useless.
The 24mm SU F32-4 is a great motor for this kit.

The description on its page doesn't mention the 3 x 18 mm motor cluster option that earlier releases of the Saturn V kit had. While I wouldn't care to try flying it on three C6 black powder motors, three 18 mm composite D10 or D21 motors should give it a sufficiently energetic--and realistic looking, with multiple exhaust flames--flight profile (albeit with the risk of having a motor fail to ignite at launch, of course).
