I'm currently working out in california and I want to keg 2 brews and take them back to missouri and set up a keezer. This way I can get some instant gratification once I have my keezer set up.
I'm looking at:

But I have no idea what the difference between using a manifold or not is. Eventually I plan to put together a collar with some nice taps, but those kits seemed like a decent starting place, but I'm open to suggestion.
Also I was planning on carbonating using just priming sugar to avoid having to fill a co2 tank. Will the kegs seal this way? I'm just concerned of how safe it would be to drive with a packed car and a full co2 tank. Would this be an option if co2 is needed to seal the keg: http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_40_271_275_273&products_id=1197
In short:
Manifold or double dual gauge regulator?(or other options to get a system together)
Do I need co2 to seal the keg? Are there alternatives to filling a whole 5lb tank?
Is it safe to drive a long trip with an almost full co2 tank?
Is there anything I'm overlooking? After i primed and filled the kegs I was just going to have them sit in a closet until I transport them
