One more time Con OFE or Con FE

I am in need of a new clutch ASAP. A dual disk is not an option it is too much $$$. With that said how user friendly is the FE. What I mean is does it make it difficult to back up to trailers, how about stop and go traffic, can the wife handle it ok, etc.
Just looking for some info from people with experience driving these 2 clutches. I have the Bully Dog Power Pup and Ramifier stacked and turned up. Some have seen a 200hp and almost 400 ft lbs dyno proven increase over stock on a SO truck with this setup. Mine may not do that well but I can't get the power to the road right now if I tried. The guy I talked to at Southbend (not Peter) said the OFE would work fine as their #'s are conservative. Suggestion or opinions greatly appreciated. No need to dispute my HP or Torque #'s with this set up because like I said I haven't dyno'd mine yet. I just don't want to be doing this again soon.
