I understand your concerns about the homecooking and the kibble...I switched to homecooking after a bit of trial and error. Miko really needed this because he forms stones so he needs a diet that is high in moisture, and he's doing great!
If you feel more comfortable with kibble, there's no reason why you couldn't do that. You just have to make sure it's okay for him. The Royal Canin Hepatic is a good one and if your dog isn't having symptoms, the Natural Balance Vegetarian may be okay. I'm still trying to learn a bit more about this food.
For homecooking, it's tough to get it right at first. I know of several people who have actually just gone to nutritionists so that they know they are doing it right. I cook Miko's food in huge batches so that I only have to cook once every 3 weeks. I freeze in 2 day portions and thaw out the night before.
