bear claw install

I am going to do shaved handles so I won't go the altman easy latch route.

1st what size is suggested? are the small ones strong enough, rocky has a medium size? I know there is not a lot of room with the window channel so was wanting to use the smallest latch that will work correctly

2nd why the metal patch panel for the bear claw, isn't it easier and faster to just to drill and cut out the holes in the door for the bear claw? do they come with patterns?

3rd is there any need for poppers?
