A refurb clutch will have had the actual abrasive material on the plate 
replaced. That will be as good as new. The main question is the 
diaphragm. I would not recommend a second hand one - you never know 
where it's been.

Fine if you just want to sell or don't plan on having it for long. If
you want to keep the old girl that is a major service item so get the
best you can and it will last years.

Take a chance on stuff that wont cost a fortune to fix, but don't take
a chance on clutches.
