paddle clutch is best i would say, but make sure you do the mk5 pedal quadrant upgrade if your using it in a escort rst.

AP Racing CP2000-35, good for 300ftlb and is not a paddle so drives much nicer in town etc. £400.
Pedal conversion is literally just a mk5/6 pedal and quadrant, gives more travel on the cable as the high pressure covers require it to fully disengage the clutch.
If your ZVH then I also recommend fitting an IB5 gearbox as the fiesta BC box will last about 10mins with any sort of decent power/torque, IB5's are not much better but they are at least better! lol

So does the pedal box just go straight in or are mods needed ? Using existing cables etc?

Not the pedal 'box' just the pedal and quadrant, yes fits straight in place of the original one

Yeah if you've not got an LSD then get one! A Racing Puma one (what I run) drops straight in as does a S2 RST one with a little grinding off the edge to fit the crown wheel.
