Default New flywheel needed... suggestions please!

So the new clutch grips like a ****. BUT Barbour's took too much off my flywheel (even with the shim). They removed 0.080". So I had to push like crazy to get the clutch to disengage. It finally showed me why today, when I had the clutch pushed in and the car took off in a parking lot. The slave had too far to travel and blew out today. So I'm gonna replace it and the flywheel. Anybody got any suggestions for a flywheel? Stock GM LS1? Or get a billet steel? I'm sure aluminum isn't the right way to go, since that supposedly bogs it down too much for street driving.

So:
What flywheel?
Where from?
Anybody got a place to get one for the best price? I'm going with a new one, of course.

Oh my driving: daily driver. 1-2x/yr on the strip, never for money (so don't suggest spending $300 more to shave .2 off my ET). Heads/cam car. Actually swapping h/c this week and doing flywheel too.

Spec billet, a very nice piece. A number of sponsors sell them.
