What clutch kit for DD Z4MR?

I am about to have a new used tranny fitted to my Z4MR, and am looking at options for the clutch area.
The OEM dual mass flywheel is awfully expensive (1.8k), so I am considering having the mechanic check between my existing one and the one that came with the tranny and select the better looking one.

For clutch, pressure plate and thrust bearing I see the usual websites offering a refurbished genuine BMW kit (Valeo) for around 600 bucks.
Can’t find a genuine new kit, only found the clutch plate for around 100.

There are OE-equivalent kits by Sachs and Luk, between 250-350 dollars.

The car is a daily driver, nannied.
Does anyone have experience with any of the options listed, or have suggestions?

I went with the Luk flywheel and clutch pack and have had no problems at all.

I put Luk in my car too, no issues. The original parts I removed were also Luk.

Yes Luk also makes OE parts. I thought all clutch kits for Z4s were Valeo, but apparently not
