Valeo SMF if you’re sticking with NA power. It’s a little noisier but much better feel than a DMF, and much cheaper also.
Pros: better feel than DMF
Cons: a little noisier
Gearbox is a major step up in almost all metrics; no jerkyness when launching from 1st gear a lot smoother idle, less noise, vibrations. I have a lightweight SMF, probably with DMF it will be even less long gears, feels super nice on the highway the car is super quiet, feel like its 500-1000 rpm less while cruising. didnt check mpg yet though acceleration is butter smooth, especially pulling 4th gear, big wow feels like you're taking of with a private jet Some downsides clutch pedal is stiff cable shifting isnt as smooth as with the 020
Pros: smoother idle, less noise
Cons: clutch pedal is stiff
A minha Megane 1.5 dCi levou o bimassa completo da Valeo e ficou por esses valores.

I have this flywheel, there is no chatter when driving the car for only 30min but when taking a long trip and everything heats up it does chatter unfortunately...
Pros: no chatter short trips
Cons: chatter on long trips
I got a Valeo flywheel. but it didn't fit.
Cons: did not fit
I've read lots of reviews about how the flywheel chatters horribly. I never noticed it on this car, it's very quiet, though I do have OEM mounts. I was surprised to find it wasn't a DMF. Just something to consider
Pros: very quiet, OEM mounts
Cons: flywheel chatters horribly
Valeo has a single mass flywheel kit that's within factory specs and should be right around $500 usd
Pros: within factory specs
I got one like this for my 6-speed. Rockauto Valeo single mass FW
While I have a 6 speed, I just replaced the clutch in my car. I went with the single mass flywheel. There is no chatter. The pedal is extremely light and very easy to engage. I had thought about reusing the original flywheel and I'm glad I ordered the single mass because my flywheel had a lot of extra play in it when it was removed and needed to be replaced.
Pros: pedal extremely light, easy engage
Cons: flywheel had extra play
