Pattern seal quality can be perfect, but I've also known it to be variable, unless you know what you're buying and who from, make a trip to the Suzuki shop.
10 weight oil is standard, many people have used 15w instead, but this is most commonly with stiffer aftermarket springs.
If you're very light, use 10w, heavier damping can make the front choppy and unpleasant at low speeds in town, but if you never ride in town that may not matter.
