Yes, those all work together.
If you look at the DZ pcb description it specifically links to that case and plate.


Stabs: Durock, Zeal, Zug, Everglide.
Honestly though, I haven't seen any I couldn't make work decent (note I did not say great) with a little effort (lube!).

You're welcome.

That's pretty much it.
60% has lots of choices, but it's an oddity, almost all others have little to no options other than color.
