Stock or aftermarket TOB?

So I am going with the Comp 3000 lb clutch below.

http://www.shopenglishracing.com/Evo...lutch-Kit.html

Going with Lucas choice, sprung stage 2 450 wtrq limit. My question is should I use the Comp tob or just buy an oem one? I have an ACT HDSS with ACT tob, I hate it, its loud, and I don't think it fully disengages the clutch, overall the clutch sucks, but I digress. Let me know your guys opinion.

I have heard horror stories of aftermarket TOB failing and you have to pull the tranny after like 1,000 miles... This obviously doesn't happen with every TOB, but for this reason alone I spent the $70 for a new OEM TOB. I have the competition clutch one brand new sitting in my closet

Having to pull the trans and the risk of tearing up the bellhousing if an aftermarket were to fail, just isn't worth it.

my OEM makes a weird spinning noise after I put the rebuilt tranny in, but I think it's because of the motor mounts I installed transferring the noise into the cabin. I also hear whining in 1st and 2nd gears like it's a straight cut gear
