I have the Selkirk Direct Vent... it's an easy way to incorporate an OAK without making another hole but it is a little larger in diameter than a traditional pellet vent... I DO like the silicone seal... my install has 0% CO gasses....
 
Selkirk here too. It was my only option since I didn't have outside wall space available. (Living room outer wall is one big window.) No smoke leaks! :)
 
I used the ICC Excel and am very happy with it. It does come it black, but I just got it in Galv. because I will never see it inside.

Easy to install, easy to take back apart (the seals DO NOT rip as rumored) and the only RTV seal was on the cast stove tail piece to the ICC starter.

I used the Harman (hearth and home technologies) direct vent kit. It can be used with any 3" Pellet Pipe/Outside Air combo. At $149 it paid for itself in ease of installation, looks and function.
