Default Borg-Warner high energy or Raybestos stage 1 frictions for 4l80?

Like the title states, which one would you guys recommend for a 650hp street car that will see up to a 200shot at the track. Ive read that a lot of builders prefer the borg-warners over the altos, Just havent read much on opinions of the Raybestos stage 1 red lined frictions. Also what are your thoughts on using Kolene steels?

in my 4l60e we put it together with kolene steels, high energy clutches. ive also had good luck with alto reds and blues. but i prefer the borg warners. the wearing in between the teeth seems to be the difference, clutch material isnt an issue atleast that ive had. the area in between the teeth gets hog'd out and causes some issues, but im just a weekend warrior, might want to get some more info from some big time tranny people.

+1 on the High Energy. Truck still is going strong after rebuild 110K miles ago. I tow a 5400lb camper and a 20ft boat often. I abuse the hell outta the trucks transmission. No issues with clutch material here either.
