Default Help with Clutch Decision Comp vs. ACT

I am stuck between what clutch to get for my car. I don't want to run a twin disc. On my old 400whp/300tq set-up I ran a ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate with a ACT 6-puck Sprung Disc. It held the power just fine. I'm now running a 2.0L GSR block. My new build will be pushing 550 - 575whp on race gas. The car will mostly see the streets at its pump gas level which I am guessing will be about 450whp, but at the track it will be on the race gas tune. Between the Comp Stage 5 and the ACT Maxx Xtreme, what would be my better opiton?

A friend of mine has a daily driven 525whp turbo EK w/ a Competition Clutch Stage 5 w/ Upgraded Pressure Plate. He's had his setup for over 2yrs and beats on his car religiously. He takes it to the track often also. The clutch has held up great!!

pedal feel is a lot lighter than the ACT clutches ive used in the past. it is a very comfortable clutch on the street. I'm currently using the CC stage 5 without an upgraded pressure plate at 475whp/300ft lbs daily, and 574whp/420 ftlbs on race gas.
