I have set up & run both the McLeod & Tilton hyd clutch systems , I like the McLeod one better , it is easier to set up & adjust
I can recommend using a McLeod B&B or B&B/Long style clutch , I do not recommend Diaphragm style such as Centerforce & Luk

I installed a hydraulic clutch system in my Charger recently...     very smooth and very...   fluid.  it is a very nice system...   I mounted it in place of the clutch pushrod so it was out of the way...    worked out very well

The advantages of the hydraulic set-up is that it typically reduces pedal effort, and it is easier to "package" since you have only a hydraulic line to contend with, rather than all the normal linkage.

If either of these is a major concern, go with the hydraulic.

I,m also planning to install a hid.sistem.
What kind of sistem did you mount? Hidraulic Fork(Kesler tipe) or slave cilinder?
I don,t know any kit with  an slave cilinder,alll the converions on mopars that  i have seen are adapting hidrulick parts from modern cars and trucks.
