Default Long Tube Header Coating?

I'm going to be getting a Procharger and some LT headers. I haven't decided on brand as I'm looking at all the options.

I'm looking at Stainless Steel and Ceramic Coated.
I don't care about the headers looking pretty for ever so I think the SS will work fine for me.
But I was curious about the ceramic coating keeping temps down. Is there a temp difference over the stock headers and SS LT's? If so is it drastic enough to warrant the ceramic if one doesn't care about looks.

Thanks

IMO ceramic is worth it. The coating is a thermal barrier and keeps heat inside the headers. Exhaust gas flows faster, O2 sensors are hot enough, and underhood temps are lower.
