What kind of driving are you going to do?
A 3 finger isn't suited to stop and go city driving but great for off-road where you rarely shift.
And are you going to be the only driver?

Very true but they can adjust clamp load on either clutch. Honestly with an increased clamp load either will hold up to street power. The only time I ever slipped a clutch in a SBC was one that was misadjusted to start with and took alot of frame twisting off road. A few turns of the nut and never again. My new motor should be around 450HP and 600 ftlb torque and an Advance auto upgrade clutch is holding it just fine. Biggest thing is to avoid ceramic clutches in a truck. They are typically in or out, ie no slip.
