Default x-grip vs. z-grip

I'm looking at buying a tex clutch and was wondering what the differences are between x and z grip clutches.

X-grip is a full faced clutch disk, and the z-grip is a 6 puck design. I have the Z-grip. Also i belive the Z-grip is slightly more aggressive than the X

X grip will have smoother engagement (very close to stock). It is recommended for normally aspirated applications.

The Z grip will have a harsher engagement but will hold more power. It is recommended for forced induction applications:

Both are 979.00 shipped in the continental U.S

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm not running a S/C, turbo or nitrous so I guess i'll go with the X-grip.
