Hi DeathRowe,
I've installed genuine Ford, Dynapac, LUK and cheapo rebuilt clutches. I would stay away from the very cheap rebuilts but otherwise the others all seemed ok. I don't think one is better than the other. I think for your type of driving a Centerforce would probably be overkill. Not to mention probably very expensive. A Dynapac is nice because it comes as a kit with a new release bearing and usually an alignment shaft.
