If you're in the habit of holding it on the clutch on a hill or similar then I'd either change my mind on a paddle clutch or get out of the habit! (Ignoring the obvious "it wears your clutch quicker" stuff).
Depending on the clutch you choose a paddle clutch may be too aggressive for holding the car still on, some of them are closer to an on/off switch than a clutch.

The standard clutch and DMF does this, feels like thrust bearing rumble and groan, but it's there on brand new S3's too.
Just a gentle vibration and rumbling, mind, not full on car shaking vibration!

A mate specced a "sports clutch" on his Nissan 350z, which was something like a £1200 option. The demo car didn't have this specced and he enjoyed it, so why he chose it I have no idea. He can't get on with it, really hates driving if theres any chance of stop start traffic, so he's looking at having it changed for a standard one!
Like you said, if you're used to them and can get on with the aggressive style of them then go for it.

I'd seriously advise against a paddle clutch if you have any intentions of trying to slip the clutch,or use it around town much.
There are far better alternatives,such as the Spec Stg3+ clutch I'm using,which is a full-face carbon metallic clutch,which will tolerate at least some degree of slip,and is easy to use around town.
I've used paddle clutches before,and they have very little tolerance for slipping before snatching.
