Pacesetters are hard to beat for the price, coating and ease of installation. We have pacesetters in stock along with ORY's, Catted Y's and Rumbler X's. If you need some pricing feel free to shoot me a pm!

As for LT's, well as you have mids I'd spend the money on something else. You should be able to see good power with the mids and will not get a massive gain by swapping to LT's. I'd use the money and get a decent cam, infact mids work better with higher engine revs so a more radical as opposed to sedate cam should work well with them.
Personally I do feel LT's are the best bet, but even with an ORY a set of LT's and a new Y pipe will set you back $500 excluding any labour to fit them (if you don't do it yourself). But can you justify that cost for what may well be only a small gain?
Or if you are planning on a supercharger later then your mids will serve you well as boosted engines respond differently and the 5th scavenging process in the combustion cycle generated by tubular headers is effectively eliminated.

Durability and good horsepowerflow? i would go for the QTP highvelocity colector. 
I bought mine for $1300 2 1/2 years ago and it reduces to $799 recently. 
Why would you want cheap headers for your WS6 anyways? I had pacesetter coated n it crack after 1year: so learn it from me buy a pure stainless steel headers. all longtubes have ground clearance issue, it depends how much u lower ur ride, but I scrape my QTPheaders everyday and it just don't break.

show me a dyno where a radical cam with mid-length headers made any kind of power comparable to a longtube setup. and radical by definition to me is 240+ duration on stock ls1 cubes.
