There are a few different ally plate packs out there.
The three I know the best are the Surflex/JHP/Ducati Performance ones, the Bucci ones and the standard ST4S ones.
The first are the most expensive, followed by the Bucci and finally the OE Ducati ones.
All are available through JHP with the latter being available from any Ducati dealer.
The first pair have carbon as the friction material, the Bucci are sintered with "carbonised" drive plates, the ST4S plates are the the same as your originals just on alloy plates.
I don't think you'd have a problem with any of them on the 748.
Jon is right that an alloy basket will help prolong their life, but the ST uses a steel basket and they seem to last OK.
My personal preference is the Bucci set. I think they are the best VFM and do offer a genuine "performance" gain in that they use 9 friction plates.
There are others out there but I have no experience of them.
