Default Dual Disk options

Ok so I am finally wising up and getting a dual disk for pulling. My questions is what material should I go with if I want to pull and still keep my truck drivable. I know what my sig says and once I get this clutch there will be a lot more power adders coming, just had to wait till I was able to get the power to the ground before I could spend money on more power. My other question is how much a solid friction disk hub will affect my driving. No one really mentions it in their description of their clutch, but from pictures it seems that southbend is the only one to offer a sprung disk hub. I know this kind of friction disk isn't as strong but I also didn't want a truck that I don't want to drive.

I have a southbend 3850 dual disk 12 button that I used to daily drive. has more pedal pressure than stock but works very well for sledpulling.

Sintered iron rigid disks, they really aren't that bad.
