Default Want to confirm clutch thoughts

So my release bearing needs replacing at 80K and I thought I would also follow up with a new clutch. It’s a 2004 GT N/A, minor bolt-ons and 4.10s. I do plan to get a centi supercharger in the future. My car is a DD and I to have to deal with some stop and go traffic in the afternoon. I do like to drive it hard when I have room

I have searched a lot on threads regarding clutches so I am looking for opinions and confirmation on my thoughts.

Before forum diving I was thinking SPEC stage 2 and an aluminum flywheel.

After forum diving I’m weary about SPEC, a stage 1 level should be fine, and the flywheel wouldn’t do much for me.

Will Stage 1 get me through an eventual upgrade to the lower levels of the supercharged world?
Am I right in abandoning the thought of the flywheel?
What preferences or good experiences are out there brand-wise for the level clutch I would need?

Thanks in advance for any opinions.

I ran a spec stage 1 NA, and soon as i supercharged it didn't last much longer, been running a spec stage 2+ ever since with no issue. (few years)
