Default Clutch recommendation?

I know this topic has been covered numerous times.. but some more insight never hurt.
As it turns out, I am not going to be doing H22A motor as planned.. so it's back to B series for me.
My Civic CX is almost done, and I am open to suggestion as to which clutch to get. Here's the "rough" setup...

B20B block w/ 84.5mm bore
Eagle rods, Endyn pistons
Endyn B18C head w/ ported Skunk2 manifold
RC310cc injectors
JUN2 intake cam/ITR exhaust cam
SMSP B20 header and SMSP 2.5" mandrel bent SS exhaust
Hondata Stage 4 system

Compression is 11.95:1 according to my math.. the car will be running on 93 octane. I would LIKE to say that the car is going to be set up for road race... but I know this thing will see some time at the strip.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

go with a full face sprung clutch. I have a 3 puck and it's nice - but it chatters like a ****.

If you are going to roadrace the car, DO NOT buy any form of cermic clutch.

The dust level in the bellhousing will have you breaking it apart every 6K miles to re-lube the input shaft, splines, etc.
Trust me.

clutchnet stage 2. $300 from importparts.com (board sponsor)

will hold 250 ft/lbs. stock pedal feel, will barely chatter (only if you are lazy). can easily be driven in traffic.

I had this clutch for a year with 0 problems.

im not sure if this is right but my friend had a turbo prelude and he had an aftermarket clutch. The only time i THINK i heard it chatter, it sounded like a dying banshee or something, really high pitched scream. can any of you clutch experts confirm?

do not get a clutchnet 6 puck with sprung hubs. Had them on my car for less than 3 months and the pucks wore down to the rivets already and ate my flywheel and damaged my PP severely.

ACT Xtreme and SS street disc, daily driver, clutch about as stiff as a stock Mustang five-0. I love it.
