Performance clutch?
I need to replace my stock clutch and this time I feel like I want a performance clutch. Or do I? I just want to have a little more kick than stock, that's all. Any recommendations?

If the car is stock or only mildly upgraded, then stick with the stock clutch. There isn't any point otherwise in putting in a stronger clutch which will just reduce the drivability of the car without any advantage.
If the car is fairly modded, then clutch selection will depend on power and use...

I chose an Exedy 'stage 1' for my stock-ish S5 n/a swap. My reasoning was, even though the stock clutch could hold the power, the stage 1 might hold up better with the hard driving I plan on doing (autocross, etc). I could be totally wrong, but that seems reasonable to me. I haven't driven the car yet, so I couldn't tell you about driveability or anything.
Whatever you do, don't be 'that guy' who puts a puck clutch in a car with 110 ft/lb of torque

an exedy stage 1 kit is all you need.
It performs as stock, but better then stock as in, drivability is same as stock, but it doesnt overheat as much, and it can take the abuse.
If you are thinking of doing like drag racing from time to time, autox, or just want to beat the **** out of the car, a exedy stage 1 is suitable.
Stage 2 exedy or any puck disk clutch is really only suitable if you need that quick engagement, or you like to drift, basically where the clutch will get abused to hell.
dont be like honda guys where they get a ACT 6 puck solid for a sub 200hp engine......
