Default SPEC Stage II or III?

I just got the word back from the Chevy House that I'm going to have to replace the clutch. I like what I've heard on the SPEC clutches, so I'm probably going to go with that.

I have NOTHING done to my car, with the exception of a lid and K&N (2000 SS Stock). Would ya'll recommend one over the other? They said the Flywheel is okay, so I'm not going to replace that. But I'm wondering if I'm going to be needing to with a Stage III.

I know I don't need either of these now, but I will in the future, so I thought I'd get something a little better than stock in there right now.

Also, is there a fluid that ya'll would recommend over the other?

I went with a Spec 3 in my Z06. I have a plan for future mods and figured the extra 50 dollars was worth it. The stage 3 is very streetable and I do not have much of a problem driving it. I have a friend with an LT1 firehawk and he has the stage 2. He is constantly wishing he spent the extra money and went with a stage 3 instead.

Do ya'll think it a wise idea that I replace the FlyWheel with a Better one if I go with the stage III then?

I am on my second stage 3. I think they were both the older revision.
Put it this way, the stage 3 is made to handle 650 ft lbs. The less power you have, the more chatter and the more annoying it is.
I would get a stage 2 unless you have d/r's or plan on driving like a maniac all the time. The stage 3 does stand up to heat extremely well though.
