McLeod RXT double ceramic Or Monster LT1-s triple

I’ve read a ton of clutch posts but nothing real recent or as specific as I am hunting for. So, like the title says I’m trying to decide between a McLeod RXT double ceramic or the Monster LT1-s triple? My car is a ‘17 2SS with no power adders other than exhaust and intake so realistically stock power level, but I drive the piss out of it. I was looking at the Centerforce DYAD but I’ve heard about some quality and warranty issues. I did some more research and I think these 2 are the ticket. I daily my car and will be adding either a Procharger or Magnuson supercharger in the next year, so I want room to grow. Right now I’m most concerned with drivability and a decrease in rotating mass. Amy and all feedback is appreciated, or suggested alternatives.

I did the McLeod RXT over the winter when I got the trans rebuilt. I went with the trans shop recommendation, but was already considering the RXT. I have a whipple and making over 650 RWHP and was at the track for the first time this year a few weeks ago. At the track I had zero issues, quick but smooth release, leaving at 4500-5000 RPMs and 1.6 60 ft times. On the street I do get some occasional chatter when pulling out, and almost always get some backing into my garage. You hear a little bit more clutch rattle with the pedal pushed in and at a stop, but that might also be because there is no more rubber boot in the trans tunnel for the shifter because I also did the Hurst short shifter for which I LOVE! Overall I would do it the same way again, I would say the RXT is about 85%-90% like stock. Pulling the trans is not fun at all, and hope to never do it again. After 15k miles on the stock clutch about half of that with the whipple and about 75 passes at the track the stock clutch was in pretty good shape considering.

I went with the monster lt-1s the fact that it was a triple vs the RXT was twin disc... Plus for some reason big builds have the monster.... I put it on my 993tq build and it drives almost like stock. Which maybe be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the person.
