I am looking at a t5 swap in my 74 javelin that was an automatic car. What's the best clutch pedal options? Thanks in advance.

The best pedal option would be a manual transmission donor car. It all just bolts in and is the easiest and safest for the steering column. My opinion.
Going hydraulic or manual linkage after this is for the clutch is either OEM or the many posts on the hydraulic options. Just adding a pedal and putting in a shortened brake pedal is really a lot more work, brackets, mount points, leverage ...

A clutch and brake pedal setup from a 70 through 74 Javelin or AMX will fit perfectly in your car. javjav sells the bellcrank (z bar) for the 70 to 74 Javelin/AMX. He's always got an add in the for sale section. The pushrods and linkage, springs, the piece that bolts to the engine and carries one end of the bellcrank along with the throw out lever that goes through the bell and the metal pivot ball and a multi pattern bell and the boot that goes over the lever arm are some of the other parts needed.

There's a post or several posts on here about most of this. Don't forget the bushing that goes into the strut rod bracket to hold the other end of the bellcrank and the boots fits of that. You can either drill a 3/4 hole in the strut rod bracket on the car or get one that was drilled at the factory. Oh, the other end gets a bushing as well. The nylon bushings that the parts vendors sell as original replacements don't last but a few years at best. Get bronze bushings from Aircraft Spruce, there's a post on here about that too.

These parts, especially the pedals are getting more rare as time goes on. I don't remember reading that anyone is making new pedals. However the vendors do carry the pads that go on the pedals. Some of the other stuff is aftermarket reproduced. javjav makes a few other pieces for this setup as well, check his adds in the for sale section
