So I had my mechanic look into a noise and while we found out what the culprit was, front control arms, he found through the test drive that my clutch will probably need replacing soon. Does anyone have any recommendations on where and what to get? I don't need anything too heavy as I just have mild mods on and planned.
Currently I'm on AM deciding between the Ford performance clutch or the OE-style replacement clutch.

All that I can contribute,is to stay with a TOB made by Ford.

I understand you're saying stay with a clutch made by ford. But what does TOB stand for?

TOB = throw out bearing

Thank you! Looks like the ford performance clutch comes with a ford TOB and is barely over 200. Should I plan to replace the fly wheel and fork while we have the Tranny dropped?

I would have the flywheel resurfaced if it looks ok and I would replace the pilot bearing as well.To do a thorough job,I'd go ahead and replace the transmission fluid too.

Are you doing the job yourself or bringing it to a shop to do the work?
. I recently did mine. On jack stands. On my back. Ugh. It was my first time.

I went overboard and got a new fly wheel, clutch fork, TOB, cable, pilot bearing, and fluid.
My advice, if you are doing it yourself I suggest changing as much of that stuff as you can when you have the tranny off just for the sake of not having to pull it off again.
. The dreaded 2 top bolts will drive you nuts. Until you figure out a way that works best for you. (Lots of good ideas on this forum). So you won't want to do it a second time if you don't need to.
If you are not going to over power the car I suggest a resurface on the flywheel.
. Just my 2 cents
