Default Which clutch do you recommend?

The clutch in my 68 L36 Roadster is slipping. The car is pretty much stock, 427/390, M20, 3.36. It will never be raced and is driven maybe 3,000 miles per year. I am looking for a stock replacement. A light pedal would be nice. Centerforce is highly recommended, but is pricey. Zoom? Ram? Hays? I only want to do this once. Thanks...

I have two BB with LUK's, and am very pleased. Best deal for the price if you don't abuse your clutch.
