If nothing else, I'd at least use the ceramic TOB.  That is the most upgraded part
there is, and the one new change that is most likely to prevent numerous future
clutch changes.  I can't see why any clutch shop that knows what it is doing
wouldn't warrant a clutch they installed using a factory upgraded part (the TOB). 
The way that bering is supposed to work and eliminate wear on the fingers, I'd think
ANY clutch would last longer with it, and so the omission of Josh's clutch and PP 
wouldn't be quite so noticable.
