The Dual Friction clutch is a good choice because as the disc (that's the dual friction part) heats up, the friction of the metalic side increases to make up for the friction lost on the organic side, causing the clutch to hook up better. Regardless, you still need plate load to clamp the disc, so a dual-disc clutch will provide the torque capacity while keeping pedal effort at a managable level.
