The only aftermarket clutches I've ever used are McLeod. I have them in my 71 BB Coupe, my ZR-1, my C5 Z06, my S10 Blazer and my Camaro.

I have one in my '95 along with a McLeod aluminum flywheel. The clutch and flywheel have been there since 1997. I now have about 51,000 miles on those parts and they work just as well now as they did when I put them in back in '97. In fact, I had the car out doing some photos of it yesterday and, since I hadn't driven it in several weeks and knowing the plugs needed to be "cleaned", I took the car out on US101 and hammered it three different times on different on ramps to the rev limiter in 3rd gear. McLeod clutches are tough stuff for sure.

McLeod flywheels have a friction insert so "resufracing" means you send it back to McLeod and they drill out the rivets and install a new friction face.

I wouldn't buy a Fidanza, ever. The one and only time I tried another mfg's flywheel/clutch was a Fidanza for my C5. Both the flywheel and the clutch were out of balance and the clutch was so bad my balance shop told me to send it back. When Fidanza gave me a hard time, I sent all the stuff back and bought a McLeod flywheel/clutch set up for that car, too.

As for two-plate clutches, you really don't need them until you get past the 550-hp level.

On the McLeod hydraulic TO bearings, McLeod actually doesn't make that part. They buy them from McLeod's former owner, Red Roberts. He no long lists the ZF hyd. TO bearing. Red is a buddy of mine so I'm email him asking why he doesn't list that part any more.

I'll advise when I get an answer.
