hows a clutch bad for a tranny? because it grabs too hard, so a softer grabbing clutch (such as a organic exedy) will be more gentle. the lightened flywheel, does make for easier revving, but the only way you can tell if u like it or not is just to drive one first hand. thats why i went with the streetlite, not the prolite.

I heard ACT wasn't really too great for our trannies though, thats why I chose the Exedy instead because I've heard a lot of good things with them. What would be the benefit of a lighter flywheel for a daily driven car? I don't want to have to rev the shit out of it to get started on a hill.
A lighter flywheel barely makes the car any more difficult to drive. You won't even notice it is there after 5 minutes of driving. You will see better throttle response and it will be a lot easier to rev match to downshift. The pros definitely outweigh the cons.
A lightweight flywheel is beneficial on all setups, IMO. I am running the 8.8lb Prolite on my setup and I am glad I didn't go any heavier.

Gotcha guys, now what clutch and flywheel combo would be better for a budget, I'm not looking to spend more than 400 on the two. Just a lighter flywheel and better-than-stock clutch.

ACT > Exedy any day of the week.

This is a fair question and one that we all face eventually. For a daily driver, stock-to-mild setup, how about the Exedy clutch w/ Fidanza aluminum flywheel @ 7.5 lbs? And for those that believe that ACT > Exedy, would you explain why?
