stock or aftermarket clutch?

my clutch has been slipping under 20-50% throttle and its time to replace it. i was considering a stage 2 and lightweight flywheel. after searching threads it seems as though there isnt an aftermarket clutch or flywheel that wont give you problems. i dont exactly want an oem because those have all sorts of problems too. i also want better throttle response which is why i want a lightweight. can someone please give me a solid answer weather or not to chose stock or aftermarket? any advice is very appreciated!

When my clutch goes I'm going to use the Valeo clutch kit. Seems to be a good one.

Valeo single-mass conversion, as stated above. Much better clutch feel, lighter, and easier/cheaper to replace when the time comes. Mine has held up just fine for the past 35k miles.
