Upgrade the clutch, or not?

Upgrade the clutch, or not?

After 34k miles on the stock clutch with basic bolt-ons I went to a TXS-ish stage4 (vf34, stock TMIC, utec). By almost 38k miles my stock clutch is making the worst moaning noises as it slips. Obviously it was already on its way out and the stg4 was the straw that broke the camel's back. So, I've been more and more set on replacing it with a stock clutch again because I don't want to stress out the gearbox. I really would rather have something that doesn't provide any more noticeable grab (and certainly not less) but would provide a longer life. Do I have any options?

Definately the Exedy clutch for the WRX (as they are the OEM manufacturers) or from what I have heard ACT street is also pretty good. Do yourself a favor and change the flywheel to a lightened flywheel at the same time.
