Here's the small box for POTA: FT-891, 100W tuner kit from ebay, 50Ah pack with the navitas cells (4S2P with a Daly BMS), SuperAntenna (can't remember the model number, but it's an old one) in a Pelican 1550. Here's the 50Ah pack itself with the 3D printed cover. And here's the big 75Ah pack...

I would go with the Daly one in the screenshot. You'll probably want some kapton tape to keep everything together, and if you've got a 3D printer, I can send you some files to print to make a nice cover for the top to protect the cell connections. I would also recommend getting some 1/4in crimp...

Found this thread while searching for some more info on these cells... Thought I would give you all some of my thoughts. I originally ordered 12 from the first batch, from BH, to build a 75Ah 12v pack for ham radio use. Got them in, and sadly two of the cells decided to poke their terminals...

They sent emails to the people who emailed them to ask about the availability, not to the general mailing list. It seemed like they had a lot of interest from people asking them directly, more than they actually had in stock, so they just asked how many cases people wanted and sent invoices.

Yeah, I was refreshing the site 5+ times a day watching stuff come in, and go away for a few weeks... Finally I decided to email them to ask, and they said they would have more info in a couple days... The next day, I got the email asking how many cases I wanted.

Looks like a pretty good set of stuff. As you said, the learning experience is great, and once you have the equipment and knowledge, it becomes much easier and cheaper to build your own packs in the future. I have a 50Ah pack I built for POTA, which runs my FT-891 at 100W for way longer than I...
