For an NA motor you want a stock pressure plate, your choice of full faced clutch (sprung or not, your choice depending on how much comfort you want to retain), flywheel is the biggest deciding factor depending on whether or not clutch chatter is a problem for you. You're only going to hear it below like 1800 rpm but you WILL hear the chatter on anything other than another OEM-style dual mass flywheel. The mid-weight flywheels in the 20-25 lb range are a tiny bit chatty but not too bad, I prefer the lightest flywheels around 15 lbs but they definitely chatter.
Track NA car stock pressure plate, puck clutch, your choice of single mass flywheel, clutch starts to feel like an on/off switch though and the clutch will wear out significantly faster.
FI stronger pressure plate, clutch pedal starts getting VERY heavy though which is probably what you regretted most about the "stage 3" clutch you had. Lower puck count is definitely an on/off switch. Not comfortable to drive at all and wears out extremely fast.

You could just eat the loss and buy a new friction disc and pressure plate. Probably only about $250 worth of parts (or less, depending on what you chose) for just those two. You SHOULD resurface the flywheel but with only 2 months on it I wouldn't lose sleep about putting a new clutch friction disc on the flywheel... and I'm usually pretty particular about those sort of things 
Better than suffering through a heavy pedal and an on/off switch for a clutch on a daily driver. I've made that mistake before and you spoke the truth when you said it's a nightmare.
