I used the WTB WCS Rim Tape <http://www.jensonusa.com/WTB-TCS-Rim-Tape> since I'm using WTB rims, and it has sealed really well. I think the valves are pretty generic, I just used Stan's valves. You'll also need a valve core removal tool and I would recommend getting the 4oz bottle of orange seal for topping up and a 16oz bottle as the main supply you refill with. Makes injecting the sealant easier using their bottle. You will likely need an air compressor to get them seated, It's pretty easy with tuebless-ready tires though.
