Default Opinion on clutch

Well the time has come to replace the weak factory clutch. Been shoping but wonder if anyone has any opinions. Truck is NOT a daily driver and pulls 10k lbs once a month give or take. Its a 2007.5 and I believe its the G56 if that is the aluminum case.
Smarty jr with dpf & egr/cooler deletes. S&B intake and 5" tbe. Intend on eventually upgrading fuel delivery and head studs but not building anything radical. I have no idea HP or tourqe at this time.
If anyone has any experienced suggestions on a good clutch your input would be appreciated

South bend dual disc has my vote 3250 to 3850 depending on final goal cheaper to figure it out now than later also if looking to go over 600 HP I'd look into torque shield soon

I have the g56 with a SB 3250 DD, I run mine on hot all the time. Mine has numerous mods and twins so it might not be apples to apples what is happing with yours. Mine doesn't hesitate, but when I get into it, it shudders like the tires are spinning, which I know they are, but I think the clutch is slipping too. I changed from nittos all terrains to toyo open country's at the exact same time to and they jerk a lot more then the nittos on payment so I am still not sure what I am experiencing. That being said, better safe the sorry and I would go with the sb 3850 like COORS MAN said, only a few bucks more and save you a lot latter if you have to change IMHO. I have long traction bars on mine too.
