Thanks Usernameuntakenable for your question. hydroxy or cyanocobolamin are both fine. methylcobolamin is unstable in air and has limited shelf life. It's actually quite difficult to become B12 deficient so the B12 quality is not a make or break for this stack.
The main ingredients of the stack are SAM-e, vitamin B6, alphaGPC, Vitamin B1, EPA. The other ingredients support/enhance the function of these, but have modest impact. Here is an article from Psychology Today that explains everything one would need to know to make the most out of an EPA supplementation.

With daily supplementation, the B1 dose here should be fine.
The blood levels are really what matter (maintaining levels between 60 and 80 ng/ml) so you have to get tested and adjust your dose accordingly. I’ve found I need 10K-15K IU per day to maintain necessary levels in my blood but you may need less others may need more. I personally don’t think 5K is enough though. Dr. Mercola claims adult men will need on average around 8K IU. You can order a testing kit from places like amazon or vitamin d council if you can’t get a doctor to do it.
Also, here’s a supplement which has all of the necessary cofactors except B-50 which you’ll have to take separately :)
