Both use the same repository but Kong test his build more thorough.
So when changing between Kong and BS just reset to defaults after upgrading.

For the differences see: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/Readme.txt

Builds for the R7000 can be found at: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/
See "supported models" for the build for your specfifc router, in his TEST directory are the latest builds

.chk is for first flash coming from stock, but can also be used for upgrading
.bin is for upgrading previous DDWRT (Kong or BS) builds.

Of course it is important that you know what router you have there is a difference between 7000 and 7000P
I am sure that you can read the sticker under the router Smile

PES means Pan European Series (in contrast to NAS which means North Amercan Series) difference could be in allowed channels and signal strength and ability to use third party firmware and of course adapter and plug could different.
For DDWRT there is no difference

For a R7000 start with dd-wrt.K3_R7000.chk 2018-02-19 23:38 22M, be sure to do "erase nvram" from CLI after upgrade and reboot
(I know, later versions can also do nvram erase from CLI)
After that you can use "ddup --flash-latest" from CLI to upgrade to the latest build
