Default skim flywheel or not???

Hi guys,to cut a long story short im sure the flywheel in my 4x4 saff cos is burnt and has hi spots,i put new AP plate in few months ago with uprated presure plate and it still slips on boost.i noticed when doin clutch thaf flywheel had quite alot of kinda blue bits which im guesing is hi spots. So my mate gave me another flywheel which he says came out perfect,but not sure wether to get it skimd or surfaced? Aparently there is a diffrence.ther is however a very slight lip where wear from clutch plate has been... Do i just throw it on??
