OpenELEC and OSMC are the most popular options for Kodi on Pi.
Normally the Pi is bought without a remote control. If your TV supports CEC* then you don't need an external remote. You can use your TV's remote.
Otherwise, a flirc remote is perhaps the simplest, and a gpio IR receiver is the cheapest option. These options can learn remote presses from an existing remote.
(*) Trade names for CEC are Anynet+ (Samsung), Aquos Link (Sharp), BRAVIA Link and BRAVIA Sync (Sony), HDMI-CEC (Hitachi), E-link (AOC), Kuro Link (Pioneer), INlink (Insignia), CE-Link and Regza Link (Toshiba), RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) (Onkyo), RuncoLink (Runco International), SimpLink (LG), T-Link (ITT), HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIERA Link (Panasonic), EasyLink (Philips), and NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi).
