They are not "so expensive". Look:
normal patch panel-$37
and the Keystone patch panel-$19
This implies the "keystones" included in the integrated patch panel cost $18 for 24 of them, or $0.75 a piece.
Actual keystones-$27 or $1.08 per keystone.
So, the Keystones + Keystone Patch Panel is $7.92 more expensive than the integrated patch panel. This is easily worth the cost. If I want to move a terminated cable, I just release the keystone and move it. Now think of the integrated patch panel.
Edit: formatting.
No you can get any brand you'd like, as long as you follow the same wiring scheme of B (T568B to be exact) it will all work. You can get something like this that lets you connect a standard keystone jack into the panel.
The ones I linked are examples, you can get whatever you like and home improvement stores will have everything you need to connect them.
This video shows how to punch down the wires. The person in the video has all the specialized tools to do the job, but you can fake it with a pair of wire cutters, and the little plastic punch they include with the jacks. Be sure to trim the long gangly ends sicking out on the left and right sides of the jack once you punch them down and that any exposed copper doesn't touch.
