Best clutch for DD need help

I myself am looking for a good Daily Driver clutch. Right now I have 307whp and 318tq with 42,000 miles and only two launchs, but it is now slipping at highway speeds under light acceleration about 200-400 rpm for a second. I have heard this is the 1st sign it's going. I plan on getting cams and probably an FP green but thats about it. So maybe 400whp would be my top ceiling. I dont plan on doing a launch at every red light as you can see by my above post with only 2 launches ever in my Evo. Main reason I did not want to kill my clutch but it would be nice to do one and go to the local track or occasional autocross. So any ideas would be great. Reading this post after other posts has me confused if just a twin disc would be fine or what.

My requirements-
I do a lot of stop and go to work and back so stock like driveabilty would be nice
Ability to go to the strip once or twice a year and do a few autocross's would be
nice to do, But again I dont plan on launching at every red light so I dont need something that will be for that.
Money is not an issue since I have it in savings, but I am not rich so want to stay under 2K
Please help

i dd my car and occasionally hit the dragstrip. i have no no problems at all with the ACT performance street disc #mb7-hdss and the streetlite XACT flywheel #600205. the clutch pedal pressure and engagement is slightly more agressive than stock. i bought mine for 825 and installed it myself.

You can't go wrong with ACT MB7-HDSS w/ either ACT prolite or streetlite flywheel.

For the price, drivability, and your HP goals, I would go with the ACT HD Street Disc (ACTMB7-HDSS).

it's a great DD combo. At the mileage i'm at right now.. i can't remember how stock was cause it's "too normal" now.
