Clutch where to buy etc.

Sorry for another clutch thread.
I am in the midst of giving the bike , 2000 M900Sie, a going over, changing fluids etc., and I noticed a noisier than normal rattle from the clutch when both engaged and disengaged so I had a wee look.

The friction plates are just on their limit but do look quite glazed/shiny, my dished steel plate is a flat as a pancake and the alloy basket grooves look well battered, the tang to basket gap is well over it's 0.6mm. I do not know the history of the clutch or when it was put in and a 29k I highly doubt it's the original.

At this moment, while I have time on my hands, I am going to replace it, I know there are varying views on the best type of material for plates and baskets. I have at the moment and alloy basket and steel plates, but I was thinking of going alloy for both, but am open to suggestions.
I don't mind paying a wee bit extra for better quality.

Where would be a good place to buy the plates and basket?

Thanks
