Mark, I have always run the 'stock' style T.O. bearing.  I've run several 
different clutches, from Laycock to Tilton, and have always had good luck with 
it.
I've known several TR racers who have used the 'hydraulic' type  mechanism and 
have always had problems at the track and have been difficult if not impossible 
to fix.
My vote is the stock linkage and a Tilton clutch, 
BTW, car is still for sale.
