Replacing the grip safety with a beavertail is not a terribly difficult job, but make sure you understand how the grip safety works so you'll know how to adjust it if necessary. And expect it to be necessary. As many have said, there are few truly "drop in" 1911 parts.
Also, the fitting of the grip safety is a very visible indicator of build quality--drop in parts tend to leave ugly gaps. Unless you don't mind ugly guns, I'd suggest you buy GS that will need to be fitted and do it right. With the jig available from Wilson, it is really not terribly difficult to get a nice fit. (Just remember, a Wilson jig works with the Wilson GS. If you go with an Ed Brown GS--another popular choice--you'll want the Ed Brown jig.)
I'm going to guess your Commander is blued, so remember: you're going to be removing a bit of steel from the tang, which will leave bare metal. If you work very carefully, you can minimize the exposed bare steel, then use some cold blue to touch it up. A careful job can help you avoid having to pay for a complete refinish.
On the other hand, the MSH is one of the few parts that will usually work without hand-fitting. Pick one you like the look and feel of and it should be an easy swap.
And yes, change the springs. It's cheap insurance that will go a long way towards reliability.
