I have a 03 RAM 3500, 2WD, 5.9HO, NV5600 M/T I love the truck and I pull a 3 Car wedge trailer with it. I thought I would put in the best clutch I could afford. I got a HD dual disc clutch. I did this in hopes of not having to change the clutch out for awhile. After I put in the HD clutch I have had some other issues that I think were caused by the HD clutch putting a strain on the rest of the system. If I had it to do over I would have stuck with a single disc good quality clutch instead of the HD dual disc. I can't prove that the clutch has caused the problems but after talking with some others I think that was my issues. Once again I pull a lot of weight for many many miles.

I've had the South Bend Con O FE (450hp - 1000 lb-ft) in my truck for 100,000 miles now, tugging trailers from 2,000 to 20,000 lbs. I'm at the upper limits of (or slightly above) it's holding ability but it's still going strong. Smooth engagement and stock pedal feel.
Dual disk clutches have more holding ability but also usually require upgraded hydraulics and many report them to be noisy.
