350 is fine. I've never tried the 300.

I have probably 30 miles on it so far. Drivability is great, I've not had any chatter or anything. Zero complaints. The pedal feel is more heavy than stock of course but probably not any heavier (if even as heavy) as the stock clutch on my 2014 WRX. It's holding 25.9psi at 3100 RPMs with ease. (The new tune is still a work in progress.)
Curious to where you set the clutch fork at for engagement?

How many miles you have on your car?

Oh gotcha yeah I don't know how they are going to dp it because resurfacing dual mass by grinding the grits will prematurely destroy it. Usually shops wouldn't risk trying but it's up to you. I'd rather just buy a new one to mate it to the the new clutch given your .miles

I'm admitted perplexed by all of the members here that desire a stiff clutch. The clutch on my Prelude was so damn hard to push in that driving in bumper to bumper traffic was exhausting. My leg would be shaking afterwards.

Why would anyone desire that?

The Clutchmasters FX series clutches are actually not that stiff at all. Yes they are stiffer than Honda OEM, but they are softer than the OEM clutch I had on my 2014 WRX and much softer than anything I had on my DSM.
