IS Headset issue

I bought a new frame (Leader 730r) and it has a profile design brc carbon fork. The person I bought it from says to use an IS headset, there are several different types(cane creek,FSA, Chris King,etc) out there just trying to 1. figure out which one I should use and 2. how to go about putting it all together(any special tools with the IS system set up). Thanks in advance for your help.

if it is a true "IS" frame, the tools you would use are no more special than what you would normally use. the bearings just sit right in the frame. don't even press 'em in. it's super easy. just have to get everything in the right order.
