The 5th gen clutch is the same as an Exedy Stage 1...so a little more than a stock 4th gen clutch. You might want to get a stage two only because you have a 75 shot. You can prob get by with a 5th gen clutch, but a stage two may last you a little longer.

I would get a 5th gen clutch, only because it is more practical for daily driving and it should be able to hold up when you beat on it.

about that debate. i used the whole setup from a 01 AE. I had no fitment issues. I remember cuz i went to the parts guy and said i need friction disk, pressure plate, t/o bearing from a 2001 anniversery edition maxima. they were unsure if it would fit, put it in and it worked. great clutch, never slipped on me yet and ive ran it down the track quite a few times, and beat on it pretty good on the streets.
