Default what float kit for my sig kadet arf 40???

In no particular order, this will get you started:
http://users.cwnet.com/zdgreg/index.html ..makes the "DaveBrown" foam floats
[email protected] ...sells his own desigh foam floats which look a lot like Dave Browns with a Vee-bottom
www.towerhobbies.com ...sells GeeBee floats blow-molded polyethylene floats, and a coupla' other float kits
http://www.sigmfg.com...Sell some pretty neat looking fiberglass floats, and scale floats for their Cub kits
www.usaircore.com ..sell Explorer floats which are made of Coroplast and are pretty well bullet proof.

Also, my club is the Florida Float Flyers. Our website has quite a few articles and linkls to float suppliers, how to make your own floats, how to size and install floats so the plane will fly well, etc.

Falcon trading has a float kit (80 bucks) for 40 to 60 size trike gear, high wing planes.

You just replace the nose wheel strut with the one supplied, remove the main gear wheels and bolt on the floats then go get wet.

I used the Sig !/4 scale float kit and have had great results.
