Default Clutch Upgrade?

So my throw out bearing started squealing last week and Im looking to have the dealership put in a new clutch...(not under warranty) Im only at 32,000 miles and seems a little to soon but so is life.

Im trying to figure out is it worth it to bring them an aftermarket clutch assembly or should I stick with another stock set up and wait for it to fail again in another 30,000 miles.

There isnt a whole lot of information on here about the Centerforce II clutch. Im not an extreme off roader, mostly use the Jeep as a commuter but also weekend trips to the mountain logging trails (not a rock crawler). What is going to be an advantage of having an aftermarket like the centerforce clutch put in?

The dealership also mentioned something about redoing something hydraulic if i use an aftermarket clutch. Does the centerforce bolt in place of the OEM or does it requre more instalation?

The centerforce is a direct replacement for OEM. I'm running a Spec Stage 1 and am happy with it so far. The light pedal feel took a while to get used to. I don't have enough miles on it to say if it was worth it. I smoked my OEM clutch last winter and figured it didn't have much life left. To my surprise it looked to be in great condition with plenty of material when it was pulled. I would probably go back OEM next time though.
