Out of these choices, which would you rather burn through first?
Hint: You can buy a tremendous amount of brake pads for the cost of an engine or transmission... and clutches WILL go out at some point no matter what you do...

Whoa, Funny. The brake pad estimate is for the parts alone, wheras the clutch seems to be parts+installation. I've never seen just a clutch disk and pressure plate go for more than $250 or so for a new one. If you do the work yourself, everything is much cheaper.
And as long as you don't downshift to first and rev match while going 60mph, you won't need a new engine.
