I went with the ram horn style exhaust manifolds they'll hold up decades longer than any reasonably priced set of headers plus it looks cleaner IMO. You also won't have to worry about buying header plugs to. I attached a couple photos of what I went with.

^^^^ Agree. The cast iron will also be a bit quieter than tubular steel headers. And if you want to make them pretty, get them ceramic coated.
I don't want to get into all the pro's and con's of headers. But unless you've got a screaming SBC, you won't be gaining anything of merit, over the factory ram's horn setup.
