Default Best clutch for 400lbft?

I'm running just under 400lbft and am still on the original clutch at 46k (STi 6 speed)
It slipped a little bit when on the rollers for mapping but generally behaves itself with my style of driving.
I'm thinking 'new clutch soon' but want to make sure it's right as it's a 'fit once' job! To be honest, I'm loath to settle for an Excedy as there's been so much unfavourable comment regarding judder, life etc
So, I need a smooth clutch more than capable of 400lbft with a good life expectancy.
I know this has been a fairly common subject on here but I'd like to know the latest thoughts.

Twin plate? Heard ACT is a good clutch and some of them can handle over 500lbft

I went for the ACT sb4 xtss with streetlite flywheel. The feel of the biting point isnt as good, but it can handle plenty of abuse.

The xtreme clutches as sold by the clinic are definately to be avoided!

.... having a look, they dont sell them anymore, so that not an option anyway.

I'll take a look at ACT as they've been recommended to me before.
