What is the best replacement clutch pack?

On the few times I've had my bike out I can tell the clutch is slipping a bit. So I will be needing new friction plates. I seen this one at Z1E. Is this one of the best ones for the J model for the price?

I prefer the stock discs myself.
you might see if they have a set of replacement discs,might be cheaper than individual prices B)

From all the reading I've done about it I think
stock Kaw. if you can find them.

Next best I think would be these APE's clutch's.

1980 KZ650 F1
ZX750A1 motor.
Wiseco 810cc kit.
Zukiworks racing ported head.
VM 29 smooth bore's.
Dyna 2000 Ign. w/Dyna mini coil's
APE cylinder stud's and nut's.
APE valve spring's.
APE Track King clutch.
V/H KZ1000 sidewinder.
3.5x18 laced to a KZ1000 disk hub.
150/60/18 Shinko 006 Podium.

The original oem disc haven't been available for nearly 15 years. The stuff from dealers is not the same. No idwa where the stuff they sell now comes from.

In any case our clutch he shows from Z1 has always been the best you could use.
