Ready to race!
Both links do not look like the one you want. The ECS one is a OEM replacement, and is not an uprated clutch. On the Sachs link:
If you want to go back to using a DMFW, the Sachs Performance Clutch you want is this one:

If you are going to use a SMFW, the kit is this one (but without the FW):

The rigid version is for DMFW, while the sprung hub version is for SMFW. I have the SMFW set from Sachs, but if you are looking to keep noise at an absolute minimum, then the Rigid Disc version with a NEW DMFW is the way to go. DMFW are really not meant to be resurfaced. SMFW, however, can be resurfaced as long as they are within the required min specs. Also, mixing and matching FWs with Clutch packages between manufacturers is generally not recommended unless it has been tested to be compatible.
Release bearings can be reused, but it is best to replace them with every clutch replacement as someone else had mentioned.
