Message really have a choice. I think you should get a 6-puck clutch.
The 6-pucks that are more kind have springs. I recommend
either Southbend or RPS. If you drive only 4K miles a year, it
shouldn't matter that you have a 6-puck clutch since you
don't drive all that much. Stop and go traffic is not something
you'll experience very often so that shouldn't really be taken
into consideration. And for normal driving, a sprung 6-puck will
be manageable.

Now if you drag race once or twice a year, then I'd get a
street clutch like the Southbend Stage 4 (good for 600 ft*lbs
of torque) or Southbend Stage 5 (good for 725 ft*lbs of
torque). On the RPS side, you'd want the max street clutch.
I went Southbend myself because I have good local support
and Southbend has been known to be good in the customer
service department (so is RPS though). I got the Stage 4 OFE
rated at 600 ft*lbs of torque for my JWT 550 turbos that are
being installed as we speak. :-)
