Default Help with a clucth replacement?

So 5th gear started slipping last week. My car has 70,000 miles....seems new clutch time...
However, I fear clutches like the plauge, and am now unsure of what type of clutch is best for my car. Since Im a full time student, money is tight, so upgrades are slow. Within 5 years I wanna put a supercharger on it, however, for now it's gear ratio change to 3:73's and more apperance then performance. Im debating between two clutches. One's from American Muscle, the Stage 1 Clutch they offer looks good (Why the hell is a V6 clutch more then a GT BTW? off topic, I know) anyhow, it's the kit, and is like $390. the other clutch Im looking at is through Clutch city online, by Valeo, and it is the kit and Includes the Slave Cylinder. That kit is $345.00.

But I want the longest lasting, best clutch for my car (College town is hard on the clutch. Pareall parking and advasive driving is a daily occourence..) So what's Better, Spec Stage Clutches or Valeo Clutches

I went with a centerforce clutch kit and so far it has had no problems I think I paid 300 for it.
