Do you have a CMAK?

Go with one of the Zspeed performance packages. If you don't already have the CMAK, and are planning to stay NA, this is a good one:

One thing to keep in mind - Under no circumstances should you let anyone talk you into a Spec clutch.

It gets rid of your POS CSC so you dont have to worry ab it failing. ZSpeed has very nice packages that include clutch flywheel and CMAK for about a grand.

Clutch Movement Alteration Kit. It moves your concentric slave cylinder (OEM is plastic and prone to failure) outside of the transmission bell housing, and replaces it with a better version, so in the unlikely event of failure it's now a very quick and cheap replacement process.

Would something like a stage 2 clutch and dual mass fly wheel be a good option or no? I want a clutch that can handle some abuse

it's best to speak in person if you really wanna get answers

but South Bend DxD lightweight flywheel + stage 2 cluch and quiet disc option, Zspeed HD clutch slave replacement, with an RJM pedal . . . works great for me
