McLeod clutches are good, their RXT twin discs has a pedal feel of a Honda and can hold 1000HP. I also like Specs, a little stiff on the pedal but they hold power. I'm not too big on Centerforce, I've ran them before but it didn't last long.

really depends on how much power, what kind of car, and what kind of driving before choosing a clutch

I used to run a Zoom stage 3, in my supercharged hatch. Daily driven too. It wasn't bad. McLeod is good shit but really expensive.

You might also want to look at the CenterForce DFX clutch. Or an Anderson Ford Motorsport high rev clutch.
