Clutch concerns

So I'm starting to get concerned with my clutch, especially since I just bought a new camper and towed it home last week. It engages and holds good but when pulling out the truck shakes and jumps telling me that the flywheel or pressure plate is warped? Also it rattles bad at low RPM in a pull. It's a 7.3, 4X4, SRW, with 100k miles. What brand should I put back in it? I've heard lots of folks having problems with certain clutches and I just wanted some thoughts on that from FTE.

south bend and valair both make great clutches. ik that a southbend DD will hold up to all kinds of power. im sure a stock ford clutch would work good too.

I'm hearing about dual mass flywheels and conversion kits for single flywheel. No idea!!
