That's one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions.
You can get clutches of either type with the same clamping force.
Generally the diaphragm type of clutch has a lower pedal effort for a given amount
of clamping force. You can get a three-finger clutch with so much clamping
force and high pedal effort that it will blow out your hydraulic system
(and your leg!). So more isn't better. Just right (or perhaps a bit more
than just right) is better. :>)
