Default Aftermarket Flywheel and Clutch issues

Hey again!
It's been a while, but once again query brings fourth controversy. I find myself stuck in the decision of a new Clutch and Flywheel. I am being forced to swap my old tranny for an S2 with POSI. But in the process I must swap the clutch and flywheel. I have been looking at a few options and definitely need to do this right the 1st time. My needs are for an ultra light-weight flywheel and a dual friction clutch; I would however not mind at all going with a triple-plate but it seems prices on those are far more and would be economical.... most I've seen are at least 3 times the dual plate versions. I was wondering if any of you have used or have knowledge of any of the components and can vouch on their quality and longevity.

Thanx guys!

As current:
1983 n/a, 944 of course. Afterall this is the '44 forums.

The tranny I am swapping out for is an 91-92 S2 with POSI-Lock. For the sake of saving the flame-war and pissing contest lets just say more rwhp than an standard n/a should ever produce. But with mods to be the need for more coverage is definite. Most of the added parts are from the S2 or greater aftermarket, although the dual-plate I have been eyeballing is a 951 model.

So you're putting down about 150 to the wheels unless you are supercharged. Stock clutch is fine.
