Quinton,
Most builders use 1x4 furring strips rather than plastic furring strips like Sturdi-Strips.
Sturdi-Starter looks like it would work fine, but there are alternatives (ripped siding or some other shim made from job site scraps).
SV5 only works for furring strips that are between 3/8" and ½" thick, so that product can't be used with 1x4 furring strips.
