My personal recommendation is the Spec. I believe it costs a tad more but I also believe they actually modify their tabs on the pressure plate to get more clamping pressure out of them. (not alot but a little). Like you I have seen some spot issues with Clutchmasters, but I happen to believe that if the focus world had as many spec clutches as CM clutches you'd hear the same stories. I personally think it's more about the ratio of issues to successes and I would bet the ratio is close.

If I were to give you a completely subjective "hey this is the one I like" I'd say go with Spec. Like I said, it's subjective, I dont have any major reason other than a slightly modified pressure plate, but that is my personal preference. Both come with an alignment tool, both are available in 6 puck designs if you choose. But my personal preference is Spec if that matters. Good luck to ya.
