Default Suggestions for new clutch?

My clutch in my car is wearing out. I'm looking to buy a new one, before making the purchase, looking for some advice and suggestions from people with a little experience.

I'm basically looking for a clutch that's longer-lasting than Honda oem and for daily driving, it's going on my daily driver. I'm not really concerned about performance, durability and longevity is main priority. What type or brand aftermarket clutch kit should I be looking to buy?

I bought an exedy pro-kit clutch for $110 from my friend brand new not sure how much it costs regularly but this clutch is nice and can handle some extra horsepower just in case.

Daikin is the OEM clutch manufacturer for Honda, and Exedy is their performance line. Either will be your best bet. Don't buy an XTD or some cheapo off eBay.

Stock should last the longest. A heavy duty pressure plate will wear throwout bearings faster. Lightweight flywheels require more feathering of the clutch, and thus wear faster.

Check Amazon, I just got a new Exedy clutch kit (clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, tool, lube) for my B18 for $100 shipped. Just a OEM replacement, but that's the cheapest and best option for me right now... just lost my job and my engine went kablewy.
