GBA did gave two flavors of ribbon cable but the IPS kits have universal ribbons for that. SP 101 is backlit (not front lit like the 001) most find the 101 to be great and usually costs more. So like the other reply dont spend extra to get similar results. Upgraded gba is the most improvement for your investment. 001 upgrade is an improvement.
Originally the gba sp exist with 001 screen and some rare ones with 101 screen. Ags 001 is okay. It's visible. But most people want to upgrade that to ips screens. Ags 101 looks good. It's different from ips screens. Some games looks better on the 101, some look better on the ips screen. Bit subjective.
On ebay I only see offers for 40-50$ before shipping, and on aliexpress I only see either boards for AGS-101 or one seller, which only sells in bulk. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be hugely appreciated.

The original Game Boy Advance SP has a front-lit screen and is the dimmer model called the AGS-001. This frontlight tends to have a dim blue light that can be turned on or off completely. The later AGS-101 model is the brighter backlit version of the SP. This screen will be very brightly lit and similar to screens of newer models like the DS lite.
Original GBA (AGS-001 model, 40 pin board). Before you tell me to put AGS-101 backlit screen, please stop, because i already have that GBA SP and i'm not salvaging it for the screen, i perfectly happy with it as it is. The reason why i'm not using ANOTHER 101 screen is price mostly and availability.
Don't think I have ever seen haloing that bad on a GBA screen before, much less a 101. Usual causes here are a backlight decides to lose the plot (though that is usually dim spots rather than blown out) or the screen layers are delaminating somehow and the layers that diffuse the light around no longer do.
