Which Clutch Kit/Flywheel is better....?

ok so im looking at replacing the rear main seal soon and along with that putting in a new clutch, pressure plate, t/o bearing, and aluminum flywheel..but which combo should I go with?? My choices are between SPEC and McLeod unless you guys recommend anything else...
SPEC 13 LDS Aluminum Flywheel and SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Kit(clutch, pressure plate, and t/o bearing) $900
or
McLeod Street Twin Kit (street twin clutch, pressure plate, t/o bearing, and billet aluminum flywheel) $1200
which is the better "bang for the buck"?

ok yeah sorry just read a ton of posts and clearly the street twin is phenomenal...but i dont think im gonna go with that bc i dont want the aluminum flywheel anymore...id rather have the resurfaced steel flywheel, and with that said, how do you guys like the RAM clutches...preferably part no. 98516...the powergrip clutch set...bc thats what im looking at now...either that or the 88516HDX...

So why not the street twin with the steel flywheel? I don't know much about the RAM stuff, but I am happy with my SPEC IV-F and SPEC steel flywheel.

no street twin bc it will be too much for my stock 10-bolt and if i put the ST in my car then i wont hafta worry about the clutch and everything like alotta SPEC stories ive heard, but i will hafta worry about everything after the clutch lol...from what ive hear the ST is completely amazing but more geared for ppl with cam/heads work, 12B rear, and a new bottom end...thats y im lookin at the RAM now bc im hearing that its reallllllllllllll good...comparable to the ST but not enough to jeopardize my 10B rear...

You may or may not start breaking other parts after getting a ST - but there's a lot of other factors as far as that goes, i.e. tires, launch technique, track, etc. Everyone says that once you've bought yourself a ST, you've bought your last clutch.

i dont wanna go with the ST until i get a 12-bolt rear in my car either way...if anyone knows anything about those Ram clutches that i listed above please let me know...the part no. 98516 Powergrip set is really growing on me..
