Milkits are very good, but expensive and hard to source. Stans valves are overpriced but easily available. There are lots of Stans copies which are much cheaper and do the job just as well.
For tape, some people swear by Gorilla tape, but I use Tesa 4289 (which is basically the same as Stans tape but a gazillion times cheaper). Two layers of tape, cut a hole for the valve, fit the valve, fit tyre, pump up, seat tyre, deflate tyre, add sealant, reflate tyre, give it a spin and go for a ride.
