Default Time for a clutch...need help finding the right one. XTD ACT Excedy?

I was looking on eBay at their XTD clutches. I have heard good and bad things about them as well as bad things. The thing i like the most about it is that I can get a Stage 2 plus a flywheel for like 250. I know that is cheap but I just wonder if anyone else use them and if so, how did they hold up. I am also looking at an ACT HDSS organic for 315 plus shipping. I know this is the BETTER one because of its name. But I am on a bit of a budget and I would like to have a flywheel. I have always been the kind of person to pay the top dollar for what i feel are the better parts. Here are my mods and you guys tell me what kind I need....something within a reasonable price.
Motor:
JDM H22

Freshly rebuilt head:
Mild port and polish
Skunk2 High compression valves
Skunk2 Valve Springs and retainers
3 angle valve job

Bolt ons:
AEM intake
Hondata Intake manifold gasket
Prelude JDM type-s header
DC Sports catback
MSD Cap and wires
Bosh Platinums

I want a clutch to have a harder feel on the pedal than stock. The stock excedy is now slipping pretty bad and feels really sloppy. I want a good clutch that will last me a long time and can take the **** that I will thow at it.

I found this one. I have a friend with competition clutch in his 450hp DSM. His first one fell apart under the power but does anyone use Comp Clutches?

I like clutch masters myself. A lot of people seem to like Exedy as well.

i am leaning toward the competition stage 2. I talked to Chris at Comp clutch and I can get the Stage 2 clutch 2100 w/ a 12lb flywheel for 495 shipped to my door. I would like some input from people using the Comp clutch and how they like them.
