I'm a big fan of the electric GoWesty kit -
https://gowesty.com/products/gowesty-cruise-control, but it's a lot more
expensive than when I did it.  I believe it's still a Rostra unit.

It uses a VSS plugged into the speedo (you probably already have a VSS,
seeing as it's a Subie engine) and works directly off the accelerator
pedal so you don't need to run wires the length of the van.  The
controller sits behind the glove box.
