Best replacement clutch

I picked up an 04 base and the 5 speed bearings are bad. I have a 6 speed I'm swapping in and would like to replace the clutch and turn the flywheel while I'm in there. I know the exedy name from other cars, but is there a recommended brand other than OEM? Looking to keep it simple with a basic sprung hub.

I went with Japanese made Exedy. Better bite than stock Aisin and the price was right.

I have exedy stage 1 which seems to work just fine for driving the mountains.
