We've found the Wilwood pulls are pretty good as long as you pin them. If you don't pin them you are asking for trouble. It takes about 500 miles but then... bam.

The Speedway unit is a nice looking piece, and it actually costs less. We've had success with the Howe units as well.

I've got a lot of online evidence that the hydraulic throwout bearings are trouble, but no actual first hand experience. We've had no failures on those we have used, with the exception of one that failed from the start. The fact that they ship with a set of rebuild seals has always left me uneasy. But so be it...

Most important thing is to monitor the fluid and keep it flushed and clean. It is the nature of the beast.

I should add, on our baseline builds the factory supplied slave setup has proven to work quite well. The push nature of it, keeps it away from some of the heat. Now that heatshields are standard on the cars for the masters ... it seems Mr. Lucky's old setup (which happens to be used by another well known and long living replica builder) is pretty damn good.
