ya im startin to lean twards long lever. I just wanna make sure ill have enough space on my clip ons to mount it all the way to the right and still be able to pull with one finger and not have problems. And is there a noticeable difference between ULTIMATE and STANDARD?

In my experience, the reason to go with long lever versus short is this: if you have an OEM brake lever for your handbrake then you will need a short lever because you won't be able to mount a clutch lever on the outside of the brake master. If you have aftermarket hand brake lever like brembo or magura or accosato, etc then you can mount the clutch perch on the outside of the brake and use a long lever to take advantage of the extra leverage and extra throw.
Both options will position the lever close to the same place, but long lever will be much easier to pull. If you are mounting the perch in the same place (like inside the brake) then there will be no difference in pull.
All of this advice is assuming you are a somewhat serious stunt rider that is trying to use clutch and hand brake together.
If you have no hand brake then long lever all day!
Next, I cannot tell the difference between bushing and needle bearing. The bushing is self lubricating and that's what I use. And by the way if you don't know what this is referring to, it's the pivot point of the lever to the perch.
Hope my experience helps
