I am sure that you know there is a pretty major difference between "can" and "should". You certainly "can" opt for a clutch that has a higher capacity than you need and you "can" spend tons of money doing so. Based on your planned output a single disc would be a fine option. I suggest a hybrid or full-faced disc (which will provide better drivability and increased torque capacity). For instance a Stage 2+ (this unit utilizes a segmented Kevlar face on one side of the disc and a carbon-semi-metallic face on the other side) or a stage 3+ (which uses a full-faced CSM face on both sides) would easily provide you with plenty of capacity for boost while having a much lower cost than an un-needed multi-disc.
If you go the route of a single disc then you can choose to use either a steel flywheel (which will better dampen and thus lessen the amount of gear-noise transmitted by the transmission) or a lighter aluminum flywheel which will save wait and greatly improve both the increase and decrease of RPM while allowing the car to put more power to the wheels.
Of course, I recently installed our SN35SST which is [art of our Super-Twin line of offerings and it too is rated to 800 lb-ft. at the crank. If you choose to go this route make sure you get a kit that is fully rebuildable. I suggest this because there is nothing like dropping a few thousand dollars on a Carbon based clutch kit only to have it wear out and be faced with buying another one. Our Super-Twin's are completly rebuildable and upgradable. I have provided a link to the page below. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks...www.specclutch.com.

I only went with twin disc for future build up. Last clutch I'll ever need (fingers crossed).

Update
My G is at a friends shop (they do good quality work and have been doing it for 30 years, and i know he will be honist with me and wont screw me) it will be $1300 for the “standard” clutch and $1500 for the "High Performance clutch"
Q: what the hell is the difference between the "standard" and "high performance"? Is it worth a $200 difference in price?
Q: will I need a Flywheel?
If I get the clutch + flywheel it will be $2400
Thanks,
