Default puck or twin disk clutch?

I have been wanting to get a monster stage 4 clutch when i rebuild my trans, but i have heard from a few people that puck clutches aren't good for a street driven car.
I want to get a good clutch that isn't going to slip, and that's going to last for awhile. Would a monster stage 4 last in my car should i spend the extra and go with a cheaper twin disk?

P.S. a little background on the car. Its a 383 ls1 fullbody camaro, and it will be sprayed with a 200 shot at the track on slicks.

Monster designed their clutches to be able to be streetable. A puck clutch is fine on the street sometimes some of them can chatter but my friend had a monster stage 3 in his gto with zero chatter.

Pucked clutches chattering are a thing of the past with our units. About the only time you see chatter in a Monster is when you are breaking it in or there is a fluid contamination issue, that's it.

Go with our Monster, you'll be glad you did. Especially when we release our twins, you'll be able to upgrade to a Monster twin by buying just our twin flywheel and disc pack saving you a ton of money and keeping you with a clutch company that stands behind their products and offer you a great warranty!

I have stage 4 and I daily drive it. It is a very streetable clutch, and it feels and drives stock. I love it, and would reccommend it to anyone.

Looks like the monster clutches get the vote then. I was planning to get a monster, but i was just curious about the twin disk clutches.
Thanks for the input.

dam dude i have a 383 stroker too and have went from a spec, to a ram 910, and know i was wondering of getting either a ram twin disk or a monster 4. But from ive read i think the monster is more reliable.
what do you run at the track?

Haven't made it to the track with the 383. Right after i broke the new motor in i broke 4th gear, and if i go over 4k rpms my clutch pins to the floor.
When the car was just boltons it went 12.4s, so I'm hopping to go low 11s maybe get into the 10s with slicks.
I plan to put a 200 shot on it and try for 9s.
