clutch

I dropped the transmission in my truck today and the clutch had exploded. Even the pilot bushing was broke in pieces. It looks to me like it is a 12 1/4 inch clutch. Will a 13 inch clutch fit. Would a 13 inch clutch be better. Or should I go to a ceramic button clutch. I don't pull a trailer much but do a lot of 4x4ing with over 3000lbs on the deck of my truck. What would be the best clutch.
Local parts store listed a 12 1/4" for around $800, 13" for $900 and 12 1/4" ceramic button for $1100. All above come with clutch. pressure plate, flywheel,release bearing, pilot bushing and instal tool.

The 13" unit is a direct replacement and will bolt right on?

How close is Luseland to the border? I order stuff into Pembina, then just drive down and pick it up. US $5 for handling to the business then pay 5% GST at the border, and then enjoy the bone jarring ride home.

I'm probably about 6 hours from the border.
Anyone know what a south bend clutch will run me in Canada?
