as for clutch your setup should be similar to mine. i picked my clutch cause of power at NA and weight of truck....this is where you shouldnt be cheap!!!

i would stil go more gear. boy's camaro runs 4.56 with 26" tall tire in his 6speed SS
also if your going 408 youll want a larger tire so you have more meat for tryign to hook

I just thought of something; you being in PC you don't have a hill to worry about within 150 miles. 
Unless you make frequent trips up north you'd be ok with 1800rpm or so on the interstate in the flat lands. Unless you have a monster cam or something that is.

I am running a LS7 & 4.56 w/ 29" tires. 2000 in 6th @ 70! With my old 3.73 it was only 1500 @ 70.
I went with a LS6 setup as my first clutch and toasted it at the track. I have not had the LS7 at the track yet, but it is holding up great, so far!
