Yes, these are the best parts I know of for HF chokes. Note that these parts 
are NOT suitable for use as transformers -- too much loss -- but they are 
ideal for common mode chokes. 

If not what ferrites and

2-3kW? Is someone cheating on the rules?  If you want to cheat, do your own 
designs and stay out of contests and DXing! 

My chokes are designed for 1.5kW. See my "Choke Cookbook" in 
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  Note that #43 material is as good or 
slightly better ABOVE 5 MHz. #31 is much better on 80M and below.

Everything I know about buying them is in Appendix One of the latest version 
of the tutorial. Make sure you get it directly from my website to get the 
latest. I don't know if any of those vendors do business outside the US. 

Fair-Rite has distributors worldwide. See their website for listings and 
links.
