Default clutch on CR's

What clutch set up you other CR guys using? I have a Howe Racing hydraulic set up on mine and have a bad feeling it's getting ready to dump on me again. 1st time it was the installation (installer unknown) which was a misalignment with the pedal and push rod sending it into the master cylinder at an angle which prematurely wore it out. Required a new master cylinder to repair. 2nd time it was the hose connecting the resevoir to the master cylinder, it started disintegrating, sending chunks of rotten hose into the sleeve of the master cylinder, prematurely wore it out again. Those two incidents happened within 1000 miles of each other. 10,000 miles later my clutch is engaging at different points when I release the pedal. Feels like it wont be able to hold hydraulic pressure soon and I'm noticing a small drip from the slave. I want a bullet proof clutch! Any suggestions? I figure I will need to buy a new master and possible a new slave anyway. Thanks!
