Valeo & Single Mass vs. Dual

(Doing a 6spd Getrag swap onto my R50)

My trans is sourced from a 05 MCS 'vert, has LSD. Engine is still good 'ol W10.
Looking at ECS they describe the Valeo Single Mass kit as for Supercharged engines only. Want to make sure I can fit it between my MCS Trans and Justa engine.

Ultimately the decision is mine, but I ask for your experience - Dual vs Single Mass, which do you run and why?
(I understand the basic difference but on a day to day application would like to know how they bode. Main purpose is spirited daily driving)

I run a single-mass Valeo assembly on my '04 S (220hp) with no issues. Since you have an S transmission the Valeo should fit just fine because the engine blocks/cranks don't vary.
