What brands are people fitting? Are the cg ones not standard centres with different springs? That could well be part of the problem! I wouldn't personally buy a CG clutch, then I again I wouldn't fit a paddle clutch in a road car either...
More paddles will make them smoother, so a 6 paddle would be better on a road car IMO.
I've run a few different clutches (all be it in petrol rally cars), the nicest to use is my current 6 paddle sprung helix, it doesn't judder but bites really well, you can be very rough with it. I had a sprung 4 paddle AP beforehand, this was still ok, didn't really judder but was harsher to use, bit really hard though, you could 'clutch it up' in second when necessary and it loved it! Gearbox and shafts probably didn't appreciate it mind!
The Ap lasted about 1500 competition miles before it needed re-lining. The 6 paddle is fairing far better when I've recently checked it.
