N55 Clutch/Flywheel opinions

My input shaft bearing is grinding badly so I am going to pull the trans to replace it. I have 111k miles on the original clutch in my '12 135i, so I figured while I'm in there I'll toss in a new clutch. I've been trying to determine what setup would be best for what I do with the car. While it's primarily a road car I am working towards setting it up for track days. That will be it's primary focus in the long run but it will still be a road car and I still want some level of civility to the drivetrain. I'm not planning on pushing crazy power (stock now) but do plan to bump things a little bit. With that in mind I was thinking of getting the Luk clutch kit for the 135is (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...uk-21207603248). After reading up a bit from other forum members, I'd like to keep it quieter and smoother for regular road use so I'd stick with a dual mass flywheel, (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...uk-21207640733). This also seems like the most cost effective solution. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or suggestions.

I preferred this to the clutchmasters fx250, but I couldn't modify this to fit the GS6-53BZ swap without buying another flywheel.
