For headset types, you can see the common types here http://www.canecreek.com/headset-fit...p=2&lastStep=1

Back in 2007, intergrated were not as common as they are today, and all the pictures I can see from Googling the bike show that it has a traditional type.

For benefits of the type, this is not an issue, as you can only fit the type specific to your frame to your frame; for costs, high end = Chris King / Cane Creek 110, good value = FSA Orbit / Cane Creek 10, take your pick, this is one part would look at getting as new even, as it's hard to tell what condition a used one will be in, and the cost for a basic FSA is minimal.

Would look the costs of your project vs buying a complete / doner bike (Bikes Direct?), as building is always more expensive than buying complete, can you get all the part you need cheaper used than getting a complete new bike?
