Default Clutch ?

This is the first time I am going to change my clutch myself my question is when replacing the clutch should i go thru out the whole system (ex. Clutch master and slave cylinders flywheel,clutch, and pressure plate) or just the clutch. Reason for this is that i had my clutch replace before but then went thru 2 throw out bearing already and this was installed at a shop the last clutch that is.

what year car? 01+ hydraulics are considered a upgrade and most people upgrade the slave and master when changing clutches.

I will be in a month or so. all new hydraulics

Well I changed the clutch out about a year ago it was pushing i say 46xxx miles on it i didnt change the slave then or the master about mid june of this year i changed the slave for the first time it was around 60xxx miles because the clutch pedal started sticking. When i cahnged it the throw out bearing was completely disconnected from the slave. So about 2 months down the road i was on the freeway when i shifted the bleeder valve broke off and what ever was left of the throw out bearing was in the bell housing
