I'd go with the bbk ceramic coated. They are kindof pricey but worth it. And welcome to MF forums.

do it right and you just have to buy them once. It will also depend on where you live (salt on roads in winter, etc), but I would say either ceramic coated or stainless steel. BBK, FRPP and a few others make them in ceramic, but only FRPP, JBA, and Bassani make them in stainless as far as I know. Also, stay away from headers that don't have a 1-piece flange connecting all the primaries (like MAC)--they warp from the heat and are hard to put back on if you take them off for any reason.

Livernoismotorsports.com used to have great prices on the FRPP ceramic shorties, but it's been a while since I looked.
