Morning mate
So to answer a couple of your questions unfortunately none of the parts from the Grand Heritage Kylo will be approvable
As for the Anovos Kylo we're unable to give you definitive answer on "approvabilty" as we are yet to see what the actual product that people will receive will look like. I say this as the images on their website are of their prototype which is subject change, and more than likely it will. We have a saying for new builders over on the Sith Lord Detachment "don't be the guinea pig," building a costume is expensive enough so it's far easier to do your research and take your time than jumping right in sending money on something that may not pass muster. So I would encourage you to not go the route of Anovos (I can say from experience that even with the Anovos Vader there's ongoing issues with them so it' easier and cheaper to go another route)
I would please explore you to sign up to the 501st Sith lord Detachment Forums. As these are the offical forums for all our Sith Lords in the Legion and is full of our Kylo experts who are always happy to help. There are options for Kylo parts outside of commercially available ones from other vendors. I'm not going to list them but I would highly recommend doing as much research as you can before purchasing anything.

The best way for you to conduct your Kylo Research is to read through other members WIP (Work in Progress) Build threads on the SLD as we have an entire sub-forum dedicated to just Kylo. This way you can learn what vendors and parts are generally being used, things to watch out for when doing your own build, and perhaps the most important thing is you can learn from the mistakes of others. You can also see some very detailed builds that chronicle every step of the build, those in particular are vital reading. This research will allow you to understand the reasons for purchasing the parts you want to buy. Reading WIP threads will grow your knowledge on the subtle things about building Kylo and allow you to craft a truly awesome product in the end

I do have a question about that, there are 2 costumes on there. 1 is a Premier Costume with Helmet priced at $3,100.00 and the other is a Standard Line Costume priced at $1,200.00. Would the Standard Line be approved? With the price of the Premier Costume it would take me a long time to get that as I am looking at spending $600 on the Flamberge LE Ultrasaber as that is on back order. Just looking for the best gear at the cheapest price as my costume is the Grand Heritage Kylo Ren I brought direct from Disney with The Black Series Helmet & Lightsaber
