RE: painting headers
IMO use what you think best, higher temp would probably be better, but you might consider any option to paint your headers temporary to one degree or another!
I read somewhere that the header companies consider their black painted headers as more or less "painted right up to the first startup"!
I have used bar-b-que paint with moderate short term success.... No experience with any better paint...

RE: painting headers
Eastwood makes a high temp header paint that is pretty good stuff. I took a old rusty set of headers, had them sand blasted, then used this stuff. They came out very nice and lasted with a good finish for several years.

You could Jet Hot Coat them, it's not cheap but it would be the best option.
