I'd go with Luk. I personally have one behind a beefed up chevy 327 and have taught my kids stick with it and it's still going strong. And the shop I work for uses all Luk kits and I haven't seen one come back yet. For price, quality, and completeness of the kit they're awesome.
Pros: still going strong, good quality

I have a MiTo with The same engine and did a cluth job year ago with The Luk set, but i remember casting me about 300 euros.
Happy to report no issues with The New cluth. Feels exactly like The OEM one
Pros: no issues, feels like OEM
Vehicle:

I run the exedy OEM replacement kit. Whatever you do make sure you replace the bearing guide and use a new OEM bearing. Throw away the one that comes in the kit it's trash and won't last half the life of the disc.
Pros: OEM replacement kit
Cons: bearing is trash

I used the OEM Exedy clutch kit on my 2012 STI a few years ago. It's held up reasonably well, although I don't drive like I stole it very often. The only issue I noticed was the clutch felt slightly lighter than the stock one.
Pros: held up reasonably well
Cons: felt slightly lighter
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
Be careful with the Exedy flywheel. The dowel pin could fall out and cause lots of damage. After it happened to me, I just removed the dowel pins after I bolted the clutch pressure plate down since they are only used to align it when you install the pressure plate. I didn't think the extra pedal effort of the Exedy stage 1 clutch was worth it and went back to OEM. Speaking of, the bearings that come with the Exedy clutch kits are now made in China and don't last that long, even though the other parts are made in Japan. I went OEM with the bearings (clutch release/throw out and pilot) this time around after I had to prematurely replace my clutch because of the bearings.
Cons: dowel pin issue, extra pedal effort, bearings don't last
