Default Best clutch?

Okay so I need to replace my clutch/pressure plate, bearings and all that jazz cause of my bad throwout bearing. Whats the best cheap repalcement? I've heard good things about RAM. I would really not like to spend over $250 if possible. Suggestions are appreciated!

I have the HD FRPP. the Cobra has a lighter clutch feel to it. So yeah you can also go with the ram or a centerforce

I haven't had any problems with my Centerforce DF, and it's taken a lot of abuse
