Default Coatings of Headers

I plan on buying some headers soon. I will probably end of getting Hookers. I haven't hear to many bad things about them on here so i think i am going to buy them. I was looking them up earlier and saw that they have different prices , basically due to the coatings. I see that Stainless Steel is the most expensive, but dam $1,000. That is insane. Are the ceramic coated ones any good, that go for like $630. Which i don't think is that bad or is it?

I have Hooker Headers and they do perform well. Mine don't rattle and the fit is very good and installation fairly easy.

However: I had trouble with the original coating and had them recoated by a different comany. Also I do hate the placement of the O2 sensors, the end rubs against a piece of metal on the driverside.
