Default Worthwhile upgrades to an early '90's 2V carbureted 900 Ducati engine?

Looks like I'm finally facing a rebuild; what upgrades have y'all found to be worthwhile? Do any of you have experience with the 944 big bore kit? How about the Keihin flatslides? 39mm vs. 41mm? Any other really good upgrades for an early '90's 2V 900 Duc motor?

I will still be using it for daily transport, so while more power would be great, I don't want to turn it into a cantankerous beast that's a PITA to start in the morning or to ride in traffic or for a few hundred miles in a day.
