for winterization. Any suggestions on best brands?

Also, a good friend and auto mechanic suggested removing the plugs on the
outboard, spraying the cylinders with WD40, spinning the engine a couple
times, and then putting the plugs back in.

Good lord! Nice friend!
I used to put a bit of motor oil in the sparkplug holes of my old British
Seagulls...now, with my 25 hp 2stroke Johnson, I spray fogging oil into the
carburator until it stalls out and then take the sparkplugs out and spray
the fogging oil in the 2 cylinders.
I doubt my 2003 outboard is worth near as much as yours. ;-)
At some point you might want to read your owners manual...section on winter
layup.
