If this is going on a car that is a play car with some Autocross and Road Course, you might want to consider the puck design. It will definately grab better, the engagement is somewhat harsh, but it's not something that wouldnt' take about 2 weeks of driving to get used to, even for a daily driver. So sounds like the ceramic disc clutch would definately be better.

As for the flywheel, unfortunately I have no personal experience with either. As a road racer auto-cross your definately going to want to go with the lighter flywheel, the throttle response on heal toe is more than worth it and lift throttle oversteer is accomplished much easier because engine braking is increased with a lighter flywheel. All good things for the type of driving you're doing.

As for fit and finish, they are both quality units from what I can tell. Again my only personal experience is with Fidanza, but I'm inclined to believe that it's about the same. I would suggest (from a practicality perspective), that you pick up a flywheel from the same manufacturer that makes your clutch if your buying together.
