I would go for genuine Honda ones over the 'cheaper' ones. Don't forget the dust seals too. I think either RickOliver or Graeme France on here could probably supply a set.
Haynes manual is ok for the fork strip down instructions, that's what I used previously and did it alright.

100% OEM Honda seals
Pulling a NC30 fork apart isnt hard took me about an hour to rebuild my forks on my NC30, changed springs at the same time was worth it, find a few youtube vids as most standard forks (I.E NOT USD) are more or less the same and use that as a guide. Just be careful not to damage the new seals when you replace them..
Just found this should help you get started this guide is for a SV but im sure you could fill in the gaps..
