The sound will be so terribly puny with cats, don't really sound badazz until the cats go bye-bye.

I agree, if sound is of more importance than performance then definitely go with the H-pipe...

The best description I've ever seen is:
H-pipe = Musclecar
X-pipe = NASCAR
As I said, it all depends on whether sound or performance is you primary goal. X-pipes outperform H-pipes at the higher revs the OHC engines can reach.
Up to 5200 rpm or so they run neck-and-neck, after that the X-pipe will provide significantly more torque right up to the rev-limiter--it may not sound as good, but it does provide another 700+ RPM of usable powerband.

You can get cats that don't have to be welded in.
