Clutch?

I need some advice on what cltuch to buy for ym '95 Z28 convertible. I just bought it and I knew it needed a clutch, so I pulled it down and now I need to know what one would be a sturdy one. I priced alot of clutches, McCloed being the most expensive and Borg Warner being the cheapest. I'm not going to be draging it. I'll add exhaust and bolt-ons, but nothing serious.
Do you think the Borg Warner will hold up for just mainly basic driving or should I get an aftermarket clutch to be safe?

The stock clutch was made by Valeo, and the SS and LT4 cars got a upgraded model of that clutch with thicker fingers and a drilled presssure plate. It is priced reasonably and widely available. It is a good clutch for hard street driven applications. It is of better quality than stock. I have it in my car, and like it much. It can be purchased at SLP's website, and many other places.

It is not necessary to upgrade the flywheel. The stock one is working fine in my car. This saves some expense. I reused mine after inspecting it and scuffing it up with some emery cloth.
