Default clutch advice

I've got an 04 R/T that to my disapointment is already needing a clutch. I was looking at Autozone and they have 3 setup's available
$510.99 LUKPro Gold (more clamping force and aluminum flywheel)
$339.99 LUK flywheel included
$289.99 AMS flywheel included

I know LUK does a great number of the OEM clutches for many domestic and forign companies. I actually interviewed there for a job once in Wooster, OH. I'd be willing to pay the premium for the Gold if there are people who say that it's a good clutch. I drove an SE-R with a lightened flywheel back when I had mine and I could tell the difference. I'm curious if this would be similar, I'm sure it's lighter than stock.

Thanks

I'm running a ceterforce clutch/flywheel in mine. I don't understand how your clutch is shot already though, my 05 sxt's been through hell in its 25000 miles and the clutch was fine when I replaced it and only replaced it for performance reasons about 1500 miles ago. I wouldn't go with anything similar to stock performance, clamping power ect. Especially if you're already NEEDING a new one. ACT makes a very nice clutch/flywheel too. But whatever you go with, you should go stronger and lighter if possible. you'll def notice the difference between stock and a few lbs lighter.
