Trans upgrade questions...

Hey guys, I have been looking for trans valve body upgrades. I have found 2 different types: shift kit type, and something called and accumulator.
What does this accumulator do, and is it worth the money and effort of installing it?
What type of shift kit should I get? What manufacturer? Are they all the same??

I am not worried about the "do it yourself" aspect as I am mechanically inclined and will have a trans man helping me out. I just wanted to know what you guy's experiences and recommendations would be?

Thanks!
