Default Time for a clutch

Well my clutch is starting to slip in my truck. It's a 318, what clutch do you reccommend? My dad had a Sachs in his which is the same truck as mine and the springs/pressure plate came apart after about 20k miles. I'm looking at the centerforce I series if it's worth it. I can get one from o reillys for 190. And is it a 12 inch or 11 inch clutch?

I run a OEM Valeo in my truck. The disk I just pulled out only had .015" total wear in 61k miles and it didn't slip behind my ~440ft/lb turbo motor. I put another one in it since I had the motor out, new one doesn't slip behind my new, more powerful setup either.

11" factory, up to 12" fits on the stock flywheel with no modification. No reason not to go bigger. I have a kevlar clutch. It's smooth unless you like to take off without any throttle input (like me...) then it shudders a bit. I like the clutch a lot. But it's overkill for my current setup. And it wasn't cheap... I paid $412.
