LS6 clutch kit?

From what I understand, since I have a 2002 I already have the LS6 clutch.

I have around 80k and it may be slipping in the upper rpm ranges (can't quite tell for sure but I'll see if it gets worse over the next few weeks). Don't know if I have the original clutch or not as I bought the car used about a year ago.

I don't drive the car all that hard (maybe a couple of hard pulls a week) and I don't launch hard. I do tend to slip a bit during normal starts and shifts to make gear changes smooth, I am becoming an old man I guess. Should I stick with one of the GM LS6 clutch kits (there look to be some good deals online that include a new flywheel) or go with something like a Spec stage 1, which after getting my current flywheel resurfaced should cost about the same. I am more interested in smoothness and clutch life than gripping power, I figure since I'm stock w/headers the LS6 clutch should take the power fine, since I'm still making less power than an LS6. My guess is that the OEM clutch will also last the longest. Also do yall recommend replacing the slave/throwout bearing as well? How about the pilot bearing? Thanks
