Default OEM clutch or after market clutch?

I'm not sure if this topic been discuss before, if yes, please link me to it, appreciate if you do
I have an 07 and having some problems with the transmission, luckily it is covered under warranty. However, Nissan tech suggests me to replace the clutch while the transmission is out. It will save me tons of money from the labor.
So I have few questions: where can I get a good price on OEM clutch? or should I go for Nismo clutch? Nissan dealer will give me a price quote on those OEM/ Nismo clutch but I'm sure it will be expensive since it is from a dealer. Or any after market brands that you could recommend to me?
If you guys can link me to their website or can inform me with some price quote, I would much appreciated.
Any suggestions or advises are more than welcome!

btw, I'm using this car almost 80% as a daily car, but I takes it to the track once in a while.

The basic Exedy is close to OEM for grip and drivability, or upgrade to a JWT for more grip. Nismo clutch really isn't worth the money.

“Which clutch should I get?” is a common question. Read. Learn. Make an informed decision.

there is no such thing as a NISMO clutch for an 07+ 350Z

Exedy's setup is only offered with their lighweight flywheel as a package - very easy to drive, holds about 25% more torque than stock, and unlike several other aftermarket units, was designed specifically with the revised slave cylinder/release bearing design found in the 07 + cars.
