I'd use Orange Seal first and Stan's second but Stan's works okay. I jsyt think Orange Seal regular works better on road bikes. Tubeless- no point going tubeless if you're running traditional high PSI like 80-100. The pressure is too high and sealant does not seal well at such high pressure. Plus, you are losing all the benefit of lower PSI like better traction and comfort.
You will have to refresh the sealant every 2-3 months. You will have to carry a sealing kit and/or a light tube. I have been road tubeless since last year though I did try it a few years ago. I have had no issues and far prefer the ride of 30/32 tires at 55-63 PSI (I'm 175 lbs and rims are 25mm wide internal) that my 25s and 28s at 75-90 PSI. Speed is no different. I would not ride tube-type wheels again unless on just one ride as a backup bike.
