Exedy Stage 1 or No-name
My stock clutch has 41K miles on it and although it isn't slipping, its starting to buck and jerk the car in reverse and getting harder to leave in first smoothly. So I'm thinking I will replace it before I start to mod the car more. I only have a drop in filter and catback and I don't plan to do much more past a few other things so I will not have more then 350wtp or so.
I've read and think I've narrowed it down to the Exedy stage 1 organic and RRE no-name as I still have plenty of warranty left on the car and I just don't need an aggressive clutch kicking my butt all day in traffic.
Which one do you reccomend and why?

The stage one will feel just like stock. A local fella has one and its held up nicely. He probably has 20-30 launches on it at about the 320whp level. It holds plenty of power and is easy to drive. The stage one has had some bad publicity on this forum but I think that is from a relativity small number of people. Kinda like how the stock clutch gets bad reviews.
Lastly... it may even pass for OEM as it looks identical to the stock unit.

I thought the stg1 was totally craptastic. Lasted 12K miles (1yr) with a handful of launches, in comparison the stock clutch lasted 24K (2 1/2yrs) with 25 or so launches and a track day. My car get's daily driven in traffic day in day out - little to no highway miles. I thought the stg1 would be a good choice but it really let me down.
Also they are not identical in appearance - The oem clutch is purple and has 4 springs, the stg1 is unpainted and has 6 springs. The stg1 has a heavy pedal feel and crappy engagment. Right before it wore out it started driving pretty decent - LOL. I dont know anything about the no-name RRE clutch but I would recommend the OEM clutch over the stg1.

I agree with Jeff about the Fidanza, it's a very nice clutch for the Evo. I test drove the model reviewed on this site and give it a big thumbs up (light pedal, grabs like glue). I would have it now but they don't offer it for the MR... go figure. I bet it would work but since Fidanza said it wouldnt I didnt chance it.
