I dont know how much power your making but Ive got about 12000 miles on my level 2 competition clutch. Im not easy on the car but I dont beat on it neither. Just minor bolt ons. They were a lot cheaper than the other brands and have great customer service.

'Nother vote for Spec. You obviously have a lot of options/recommendations. Just be sure to get one rated for your desired horsepower levels -- the stronger the clutch, generally the less streetable it will behave.
Regardless, you're probably going to want to resurface your stock flywheel if you intend to reuse it. I take mine to a local CarQuest machine shop, and they removed about 0.020" last time. To keep things properly located and prevent disengagement issues, you can buy a Gen-II SBC flywheel shim of the same thickness as the material they remove, which are available at places like Summit Racing (or perhaps your local machine shop can sell you one).
