Best Clutch?

My clutch is on it's way out (2000) and I was wondering which is the best to buy?

Sorry if this is repetitive, I've searched but found way too many posts on clutch replacement.

Depends on your driving style. I'm not sure how quickly you burnt this one out, so I can only guess it met it's like expetancy. OEM are usually a decent clutch. When I'm short on cash I usually pick one up @ autozone. It usually cost me about $120.00 (different vehicle) If you're doing this yourself make sure you check the flywheel for cracks. They can be turned for $10-$15 @ some o'reillys shops. A new one is around $100 (again different vehicle)

Since I see that you're 22 I'll throw this in.. If you're looking for a clutch set-up for alot of high rpm neutral drops and/or hard shifting I would go with a triple disk set-up. If you don't ride it hard alot stay away for from the triple disk set-up. The clutch is alot stiffer and has more of an engaged or disengaged only feel to it.
