what determines the difference in say a stage 2 and stage 3 clutch....is it bad to use a high stage clutch with a stock motor??
 
Different companies have different ratings, though mostly the same. Basicly it depends on it's holding power, and how hard it grabs. sprung/unsprung, how it is built, etc... It's not nescessarily bad, just pointless, and if it is too high a stage it can be a real pain to drive in the street.
 
"stages" dont really mean dick
they are somewhat helpful when comparing like products from the same company
company A's stage 2 clutch setup will be less agressive than company A's stage 3 clutch setup
but when trying to compare company A's stage 2 to company B's stage 3, the "stage" ratings dont mean shit. you have to look at the actual features / specs of the product (this is especially true with cams)

also remember ACT does not use "stages"

Yip, hence the problem with the whole "stage" thing. One companies stage two that holds 500lbs, might be anothers stage four.
