Which Clutch.. CM Stage 3 or Spec Stage 2 or 3

Okay so with the new TVS on the way and my stock clutch starting to slip as it is I need something new. I've narrowed it down to a few choices...

Spec Stage 2+
Spec Stage 3+
Clutchmasters Stage 3

Let me know what you guys thing of any or all of them, especially if you have experience with them on your cars. Like I said I'm going to be running the TVS along with some other stuff (no no2) so I need something that's good in the 300-350whp range. Thanks guys

What's the major difference between the + kits and the 'normal' ones? I read it a while ago but can't remember. And does anyone know the specific hp/tq numbers each of these clutches can hold? I searched around and can't find it.

Whats this BS about lightweight option? They just take an angle grinder to the clutch or somthing? And is a stronger flywheel needed is there a possiblity of the flywheel getting chewed up.
