Default Need a new clutch need help

So my 06 350z clutch just went out and I need one asap. I found a stock oem one brand new the brand is Boss. I'm told it is exactly like stock one. But I'm curious about weather I should get a aftermarket better one. also I don't know the difference between stage 1 and 2. Ive seen that a lot of ppl prefer the JWT brand clutch kit. I found some on ebay but I would like ppls opinions on weather you know these are better than the stock one and what they would put in the car if it was theirs. Thank you for you input.
Here are the links to ebay listings.
XTDŽ STAGE 2 RACING CLUTCH
EXEDY NEW OE CLUTCH SET KIT
EXEDY CLUTCH KIT OEM
F1 RACING STAGE 1 CLUTCH
SPEC Nissan 300ZX 300 ZX Z32 Clutch Kit
Also this car is basically all daily driving. Will probably want to take it to strip though a couple of times in its life but not alot. I need to know 100% for sure that these parts will fit for sure. Don't want mechanic to have to open car up and part doesn't work. Thanks for all the help.

how many miles are on the car that you managed to fry the clutch on a still relatively new car?

That being said, I wouldn't use any clutch from a brand I never heard of - it's just asking for trouble.

Exedy is the OEM manufacturer. They make a nice Stage 1 clutch for the car, which has a stronger pressure plate, which allows it to hold more torque, and take more abuse vs a stock unit. Still a very nice pedal (a bit stiffer than stock), quiet, smooth, and includes everything needed for install. They also offer a lightweight flywheel, or you can simply reuse your stock flywheel

There no standard for defining “stages.”

Generally a manufacture will name a clutch similar to the OEM clutch “Stage 1.” As you move to Stage 4 for example, the clutch will be more agressive, and handle more torque. Competition designs are less “street friendly” than the OEM design.

I just bought the car 11 days ago came with 31k miles it started driving funny after first couple of days so took to mechanic and they said that the clutch is out. Cause when I try to take off in any gears it seems like car hesitates alot till the car finally starts going. So im assuming the previous owner wore it out. Suxs cause I have only put like 300 miles on it and the dealership says its not covered under manufacture or their warranty so I gotta pay. So from what ya said Exedy is the way to go just a stage 1. (car came with injen exhaust jwt air intake with popcharger) So im between stock one and Exedy. Can anyone guarantee that this clutch listed will fit perfect without any problems??? What is the best stage one clutch to get???? Thanks for the advice ya
