what clutch?

im in need of a new clutch and i was looking at the centerforce stage 2 and the dual friction set. i was seeing if anybody has had experience with either and what might work best for wheelin and which one might last longer. the type of wheelin i do is mostly mud and trails. i know the stage 2 grabs %60 more than stock and the dual friction grabs %90. im almost thinking i might want some slip when im out in the techinical stuff.

I actually found a lot of bad "reviews" about centerforce when I was looking into a new clutch. Can't remember where I saw them, but it was on sites like this one. Lots of bad stuff, with some people chiming in with "well I never had a problem with mine not sure what you guys are talking about" kind of stuff, so...I ended up going with a LUK, which had a ton of good reviews, but now, looking at the small price difference, I wish I had gone with a Marlin. I figured since I don't do hardcore offroading I didn't need something like that, but really, why net get the strongest clutch you can? Next time...
