EZ? or 275? or DDII?

Santa will be getting me gauges for my truck for christmas (even if I have to buy them myself).
I have a 5er that is 12'4" high and weighs 10-11 thousand LBS depending on how much "stuff" my wife packs in it.
Bottom line is I want more pulling power. I pull the 5er and every chance I get I pull a pulling sled.
A friend of mine has the 275s and loves them. Another friend has the 275 and the EZ and now is looking for a new clutch. Both of the above friends pull about the same weight one is a 5er and one a TT.
Another friend says to go with the DDIIs and then before you do anything else upgrade the clutch. These guys have had CTD for a number of years so I listen when they talk.
The EZ is about twice as much as the 275s I don't have a price on the DDIIs.
I know I may be opening a can of worms with this but so be it.
Thanks
See Ya
Chris
