The bday candle would be preferred for it's size and ability to stay lit when windy or wet. In a kit this compact I think it's a good choice.

Can you give the measurements for the container? Is it larger/smaller than a Altoids tin? If it's close enough you might be able to shave a few more shekels off your kit cost (which is already phenomenal, nice work).

Also subbing cotton balls in petroleum could be subbed for Tinder Quiks, which, I think I've read, break down after time.
