Clutch Upgrade Verification

So since I'm bound to get my engine rebuilt/replaced, I thought I'd go ahead and upgrade the clutch since mine was starting to slip a bit when it was cold.
So I've done some light digging in the forums and from what I've read, I need an 02-04 WRX flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate.
I'm planning on racing it quite a bit so I want the clutch to last, and I also am saving up for more upgrades in the future (vf39 setup).

I just want a good clutch that can handle launches with my current setup (td04, tmic, etc. = ~200whp) therefore, do I want a stock exedy WRX clutch set or stage 1? Mind you, I'm really bad when it comes to drivetrain know-how...

A couple comments to point me in the right directions would be awesome, thanks.

Yes, if you get an 02-05 WRX flywheel, clutch, & pressure plate it'll work.

The one thing to note is that with a "beefier" clutch you put more strain on the transmission. So a stage 1 will provide more shock to the drivetrain than say a stock clutch.
