Default Clutch oh clutch!!!

I just got my engine back from the machine shop. I have a turbonetics kit now with 8.2.1 pistons, rods, studs, etc. But I can't even put it on the dyno because as soon as the car starts hitting about 5 pounds of boost, it feels like the pressure plate is pushing off. As soon as it starts building power, the clutch slips and the engine runs to red line.

I can't spend a lot of money on a clutch. I know I need to and I know I want to, but after everything I've already done to it, I am past broke! I dont plan on pushing anything much over 450hp untill I have the money to add the other parts I'll need (axels, oilcooler, tires, tires, tires, etc.) The problem is I don't know what type of clutch I need right now. I have never drove a car with a 6-puck or 4-puck, so I don't know how bad they are going to be on the street because I drive a lot in stop and go traffic. I have only $500 to spend on a cluth, and I have to have SOMETHING now. I was looking at the Clutch Masters stage 3, the Clutch Masters stage 4, and the ACT 6-puck.
What do you guys think?

forget the ACT 6 puck - it is nasty to drive

ACT street clutch would be MORE than enough, and the driveability is awesome
