Default Slave cylinder replacement

My slave cylinder recently went, fluid leaking out of the bell housing , no pressure
Does anybody have a more robust replacement part they can recommend? using a stock clutch for road racing 550hp at wheels cam headers tune
do not want a monster weight clutch just looking for a recommendation for a more durable replacement ( old one lasted less than a year) have not gotten in there so i do not know why it failed, but i will let you know what the dealer tells me.
2007 c6z last year replaced tranny , diff and rebuilt torque tube.

Factory slave with a remote bleeder is about as good as it gets. Flushing the fluid regularly will prevent the failure. I am in the same boat as you with my clutch pedal stuck to the floor. I didn't do a remote bleeder when I first did the clutch - shame on me. I hope to start on fixing it next month.
