Honestly, stick with the stock. Stock clutch is fine at those power levels and easy to drive.
The ACT 6 puck is a nightmare in my opinion. Way too mcuh pedal effort, and too on/off for street use.
The 2nd like you posted is to an unsprung clutch. You DO NOT want an unsprung clutch on the street.

Good luck with that whole 200whp thing...
Anyway, a puck clutch on an n/a is a horrible idea. The previous owner of my car had installed an unsprung 4 puck. I didn't change the thing out when I bought it because it was practically brand new. Well what else are you going to do with a puck clutch besides drag race? At the strip I sheared my differential mount in half and completely broke the differential in half. I changed the clutch after that to the ACT Street/strip, and then a year later the transmission blew on me. I'm just now getting the car running again.

I just installed the First link you posted, 6 puck sprung xtd. Have heard it IS streetable and it only cost me 100 shipped so why the hell not. I haven't tried it out yet since i'm waiting on injectors to get back....
The clutch in the third link will be the most streetable clutch out of all of those. It will also hold more torque than your NA motor will ever make as well.
I wouldn't touch that "XTR"(XTD knock off?) clutch with a 60 foot pole. I have a feeling your gonna get what you pay for with that one...
Oh yeah, good luck with the 200 HP NA.

Well I actually dont have that "exact" one, mine is XTD, if there is a difference between the two (assuming there is) & it is also going on an upgraded s5 n/a...but yea we'll see if i get what i pay for or something more...
IMO i would take Aarons' advice or upgrade to a stronger street clutch.
