My stage 1 has been fine. There have been some (at least one) problems with them. If I had to do it over again I'd probably just go for OEM non key value. Why stage 2? Unless you're going FI that is definitely not neccessary...even stage 1 is probably kinda overkill.

I will be runing a 75 wet shot, and plan on going turbo or supercharged soon.

If you're not going to boost just get stage 1.

The fakes would dupe the part numbers. Don't try to save a few bucks on such an important part, get it from a legitimate authorized dealer. Check with Exedy if you are unsure.

ACT is a bad *** clutch. If you have the cash go nab one of those up.

Unless you're really hard on it you should be able to count on 100K. I've heard of clutchs lasting over 200K, though I'm not sure that I've ever heard that about a max or not.

You have the 3.5 don't you? Are you still using a 4th gen clutch? It probably wouldn't last as long

.

Given all the work you've done I expect you could manage a clutch job and the clutch is the cheap part (the labor is expensive) so just put in what you'll be happy with.
