An organic one, and if you dont mind spending a few quid while you are at it, then convert it to hydraulic, it will be one of those mods that you never regret doing IMHO.
No need for a paddle at that power level and they dont drive as nicely as an organic, as they have a tendancy to grab in traffic etc, although the 4wd system seems to iron it out a bit and they drive more nicely than a 2wd with the same clutch IME.

Of the paddle clutches available, if you do decide to go that route, 6 paddle is more civilised than 4 paddle.

i used my paddle as a daily driver, and other than the fact it is a little stiff, its fine

i would go for a hydraulic conversion while the box is off though, as its supposed to make it really nice and can help with the usually tricky changing mt75 box

Best bet for converting to hydraulic is to talk to Martin Hadland about it.

Ive converted other cars, but not a cossie, so dont know the ins and outs of it in the same detail as he does, but effectively you change the pedal for one with a master cylinder (possibly using one pikied from another car or a brake one if you are doing it on the cheap like ive done in the past) then you either fit a generic slave cylinder onto the standard mechanism or you swap it for the bits martin supplies to do the job more neatly.
