Default throwout bearings

I highly recommmend that if at all possible, use a clutch disengagement system other than a hydraulic TO bearing. It will leak sooner or later. It is a big pain in the rear to remove when it's time to change the O-rings, because you must pull the input shaft all the way out of the clutch setup to get it out of there. McLeod makes excellent flywheels, friction materials, and pressure plates, but the hydraulic TO setup gets leaky banjo fittings in no time. A ball stud, factory ford style fork and an external hydraulic slave cylinder is my favorite. Easy to service, cheaper, better feel.
