if you don't touch the cats, don't expect much gain at all HP wise and sound wise. . . sound and hp are in the cats. . .
i have high flow cats. . . they pass emmisions, and give hp and sound, my recommendation

Technically, an X-pipe will have slightly better flow properties than an H-pipe. But, the differences are subtle, especially around stock flow levels. I would expect a SMALL gain, maybe around 2-3 HP TOPS. (Then again, that's well within the natural variance of dyno runs, so you might not even see that)
On the other hand, a different pipe that has either no cats or has high-flow cats will give you a significant HP boost due to the removal of the restrictive stock cats.

RE: Benefits of X-Pipe???
Before I had my Magnaflows, I had them just put on the L/Ts and X. It was definetly louder. At WOT is where the sound difference was. But since you already have the Stingers, and just maybe putting the Shorties on, and the X, you will have a louder exhaust.
