For a X2 CPU, your probably gonna be ok with just about anything bigger than the stock cooler so take your pick from the above, they'll all work fine

See here for a detailed explanation: http://en.wikipedia..../Thermal_grease, but in short, it is used to assist the heat sink in drawing heat away from the CPU.

Most aftermarket heatsinks come with thermal paste/grease/compound pre-applied It might be a good idea to just buy a small tube for future use, if you plan on changing your CPU later on - products from Noctua or Arctic Silver are good.
