A stock one for the simple reason it is the cheapest and easiest thing to replace in the drive train. certainly nothing more than a Stage 1 or 1st step up from stock. I learned this the hard way years ago. If you beef up the clutch, the next weakest link is the axles or the transaxle itself. If you are driving really hard and something has to give, better the clutch slips a little than a broken CV or worse.

Put a heavy-duty racing clutch in my old 64 Falcon Sprint V8 4 speed, kid I sold it to proceeded to grab 2nd gear real hard during a drag race, ripped 7 teeth off a 9" limited slip ring gear, (but the clutch didn't slip!)
I still didn't learn, put one in my 67 Mustang fastback with a later model 302 4 speed, also had a 9" limited slip. guy that bought it broke the transmission in half the 1st night he had it. had about 200 ft of rubber on the street in front of his house, banged 2nd gear, another few feet of rubber and then all kinds of marks in the road where the trans case tailshaft broke and the driveshaft beat hell out of the road and the bottom of the car, (but again, the clutch didn't slip!) The Mustang would run mid to low 13's in the 1/4 mile, not bad for 2 valve heads, carburetor and breaker point ignition,,,

Just not worth it for a street driven car IMHO. The heavier ones also are more of a pain in traffic with the heavier pedal pressures, Maybe a Centerforce stage 1 pressure plate and disk if they have one to fit,,,
