USD fork conversion requires replacement of triple clam, front wheel, most likely brake calipers and clip-ons. Basically complete frond end, find something that's compatible shouldn't be hard, just check the steering stops for the lower triple clamp to allow proper steering clearance.
Fork trail can affect steering and braking attributes, depending on what type of steering/braking performance you ultimately want to achieve, select the front end you want to convert.

If you can get a set of stock forks and drop in better springs along with a fork brace you should be good

USD forklegs may look nice as a conversion, but without proper springs/valving setups that suits your riding in particular, the USD forklegs will just give you frame additional stress in comparison to OEM forks.

Properly setup OEM forks can perform just as well as USD forks, whether a person can "feel" the difference or benefit of USD fork conversion is highly doubtful.

But if your OEM forklegs are toast and your front wheel has a dent that needs replacement, converting your frond end to USD forks may just be worthwhile, just make sure you get the springs/valving to match your bike properly.
