The ZF6 is a HOSS tranny. It'll handle just about whatever you throw at it. The pilot bearing needs attention, because if it goes out, it will take the tranny with it, starting at the input shaft bearing.
Clutch is another story though. The stock clutch will go out quicker if you start drag racing, etc. If you're careful to get it fully engaged before romping on the go-pedal, it'll last a bit longer.
There are good aftermarket clutches available. SouthBend sells some good ones, but be aware that there's no such thing as an all-around clutch. Some are good for pulling heavy loads and others are good for daily driving. Call them up and ask what they'd recommend based on your driving style.
