I was using the Centerforce DF clutch, running ~330rwhp It grabbed nice and hard real fast, but that means it's a lot harder on the clutch disc for typical city driving where you're slipping it to get off the line 'nicely' :p. Also, when the meat on the disc was on it's last legs, the pressure plate was no good anymore due to scorched spots. Mind you, I did take it to the drags. Pulled about 15 runs over the season, so not tons, but enough to most likely make it's mark on the car. Also a huge downside to a performance clutch is they tend to have WAY less meat on the disc than an OEM replacement. I wouldn't go performance unless I had serious problems with ripping through the OEM's or

I went and put in a Beck Arnley replacement clutch and so far it's been real good. No clutch slipping even when it's being driven hard. We'll see how it goes during race season, but I think this one's gonna be sufficient.
