Default Which clutch for my set-up?

I wanted to know which clutch I should get. I know people are recommending ls7 and stage 3. But I dont plan on really putting much power to my car because its my DD. But I know its time to get a new clutch. My mods are in my sig. Please let me know which clutch would be good for my application? ALSO WHICH CLUTCH on the market would be the longest lasting clutch? Cause I've read that aftermarket clutches aren't suppose to last more then 20k?

Also I'm on a very tight budget, thanks guys!

Textralia OZ700 with the X-Grip clutch. It's buttery smooth like a new stocker, but has the clamping force like a dual disc clutch. Interestingly, the pedal effort is the same or lower than stock. Best dual purpose clutch on the market IMO. Do it right the first time and it will be the last clutch you need to buy (for a looooong time anyway).

I'd say you get what you pay for, I'm going with the TEXtralia OZ700, do it right the first time. If you want a cheaper clutch get the LS7... I would save a few more bucks and get something from a sponsor instead of risking it on an ebay clutch...
