I'd use the Ford one (which the v6 ford tob I have compresses down the same as your's, with the outer part going further down than the inner ring).
Some SPEC kits come with remaned slaves (Ford logo ground off). That was the verdict a few months ago.

Oh yeah, That's correct.  good catch!
I guess if it is that big of a difference in how far back the piston can compress between the two parts then it would keep the clutch disengaged or at least with less clamp pressure as it wore down.
Oh, and yes, I got it as soon as you pointed it out.
Of course I want to add that he was having a fluid leakage issue which should have nothing to do with those concerns. Maybe he just had some really bad luck on the particular TOB.
