Indy Specialty and TRS are essentially the same thing. Pick your poison.
Indy Specialty will sell you a kit with everything you need and they have many variations of adjustable weights (all similar in concept to the Lightning Weight) that can tailor to various snow conditions, elevation, and rider preference. And they are readily available. Indy Specialty answers the phone if you have questions or something isn't working right for you.
"TRS clutching" is a do-it-yourself approach which requires you do your own testing for your sled, conditions, preference etc. You also need an understanding of how clutching works so that you can tune your own setup.
In my experience (and many others), when you get the original lightning weight clutching (TRS) dialed in, it is hard to beat.
Edit:
I should add that there are very well defined and documented TRS setups for the Southern Montana/Wyoming snow conditions and elevation. The DIY aspect comes in when you differ greatly from those conditions, like the cascades, alaska, western canada, east coast, etc.
