97 F-150 Clutch Adjustable VS Non-Adjustable?

Hey Guys, I've got a 97 4x4, 4.6 5-speed thats gonna need a clutch/slave pretty soon. My question is that after looking on Rock Auto, they list an adjustable and a non-adjustable clutch. I'd like to go back to whatever OE was and I'd like to go ahead and buy everything before I yank this one out. How do you adjust one of these with a hydraulic internal slave? BTW, I'm not a newb, just new to Fords. Any thoughts or pointers on this subject?

It should be non-adjustable. Don't know why they would list it like that unless they are talking about the push rod to the master cylinder.

The clutch is self adjusting. It allows for the wear on the disk. Get the adjustable one.

A stock pressure plate but a heavy duty disk with kevlar. I used to crack and spin the disk so Clutch Masters Inc ordered me a stronger disk. It has a beefier centre and larger springs.
