I did too much worrying about it when I got mine, I think you'd be happy with any brand. I have no complaints with my bbk ceramic, they look like new. For the extra $1000 that some cost they would need to include a wide screen tv to make them worth it to me. I have a catted and with violators. I posted a video a few weeks ago -

When we got BBK's on our 06GT they did NOT fit well.
Tubes too close together and when they heated up they would hit each other causing HORRIBLE vibration and the dash sounded like there was a beehive in it.
Later on we learned from numerous Mustang shops that the BBKs often do this in 05-09 Mustangs and are almost always very difficult to fit well.
We had to have ours adjusted FOUR times and have the tubes spaced out more, which I did not like the idea of changing the bend in any fashion....but it HAD to be done.

Even after this we had a small bit of buzzing leftover you could hear at times.
I'd rather get a set that you don't have to worry about fitment issues with.

We had the nice ceramic ones too that hold heat better.
I can only imagine how much the others would swell after heating up.

ARH and Kooks I have both heard in person. Awesome sounds and great fitment from the people I had spoken to who had them on their cars.

I've had no issues with my JBA's, but nobody ever seems to be interested in those.
