Clutch options for the 9000?

Hey everyone! As many of you may have read, my engine is on it's last legs, I'm going to have a low mileage used one put in within the next month to month and a half.
Now would be the perfect time to consider clutch upgrades or flywheel lightening, etc. The current clutch does have only 60k on it though, which to me means it's still got at least double that kind of life in it. I'll be bumping boost up to (hopefully around 20 psi), which I'm hoping will give me around 225 HP.
Is the standard 9000T clutch up to the task, or should I really look at other options? Is the 9000 Aero clutch different from the 2.0l 9000T clutch?
Also, was there ever any consensus as to the specific benefits of a lightened/balanced flywheel?
Thanks much!
