can someone look at this and point me in the right direction?

I have bought two of Brians LM3886 Dual Mono kits and one LM3875 Stereo kit. I was going to buy my transformers from Apex JR but I don't see the specs being expressed in the same terms I see you guys use all the time.

Is their a toroid on this page that will work for powering both mono blocks at a 8ohm load? And one that would be acceptable for running the stereo 3875 8ohms as well. Or is there one that I could use to run all three amps?

You should probably look elsewhere for transformers, such as parts express. There don't seem to be any ideal transformers listed, although the Avel-Lindberg transformer rated at 150 VA may work, albeit not too terribly well, for a stereo lm3875 or a monoblock lm3886.
