Thats my problem though, the car is more of a DD and wont see many track passes in a year, 2 or 3 trips at best with about 3 or 4 passes per trip. The car isnt at the track every weekend or anything

Twin w/400tq should be okay for limited track use. It really depends on how much wear and tear the clutch has. Launching really lowers the lifespan of the twin considerably.

Shep talked me out of the quartermaster for a true street car, and that says a lot for me particularly because I was dead set on the QM being the right clutch and it takes a lot to talk me out of something. He said its an incredible clutch, but not for a daily driver because of the fact that its unsprung and the engagement is not streetable. The discs will absolutely wear prematurely from over-slipping it in traffic to get moving.
The average life on a QM that was DD'd was around 12,000 miles till a rebuild from what I saw, Exedys as we know see 40,000 miles or more with no problems.
He said even the new models that are coming out are all unsprung, if it werent for that fact hed sell tons of them, but he sells roughly 1 QM to every 20 Exedys.

Does Shep prefer Exedy twin or triple? Also regular plate or carbon? I have never dealt with Shep but thanks for the post. I do love my Exedy and never had any problems. Drivabilty is amazing too.

Regular or carbon we didnt discuss, I couldnt afford a carbon 
Heres what he said about the triple vs the twin for my situation of mainly a street car, but with a moderate amount of power behind it still. Also, I mentioned that someone said they thought their triple drove better than their twin did.
"Well the problem is that the only triple I would use for normal street use is not an off the shelf unit. The normal triple suffers from spline wear issues due to the reduced thickness of the splines per disc. They have a revised hub and disc set but they do not come in the units they sell ( don’t ask me why )."
Answering when I mentioned that someone said their triple drove better than a twin, he's very for a sprung hub on a street car
"The solid hub again is the issue. To say a triple drives better than the twin is just not possible. The twin is a very nice clutch."
Here is a picture he sent me with Exedys revised design

And I believe so yes. I showed one of my friends the conversation between shep and I and he goes to me,
holy sh*t, NASA doesn't have this much trouble launching the space shuttle and you cant pick a clutch for your car, what the hell.
I found that pretty hilarious.
