They are very similar as the JetHots are based off the Hookers. You're probably going to need some band clamps (3"), header gaskets, header bolts, some brake cleaner...

I would recommend against Pacesetters but unfortunately it seems that on the internet they are very popular due to price, the flanges suck, the coating suck, and in all honesty you get what you pay for. Jet-Hots and Hookers are the exact same headers Jet-Hot is just the ceramic coating, I went with the Jet-Hots because they have pretty decent quality coating (about as good as your going to get from a manufacturer) and the Hooker headers are good design and quality as well.

Echo what the guys said about Jet Hot being based on the Hookers. I have 'em on my '94 and no complaints.
You can order them without AIR and EGR fittings, so you don't have to worry about blocking those off.

Hooker are good headers, me and most of the F-Body guys around here use them and they are of good build quality, clearance wise they are good, and the ceramic coating is just top notch.
can't comment on other brands as I never used them.
peace.

The JetHot's are based off of the Hookers but do have some improvements such as 3/8" vs. 5/16" flanges and 14 vs. 16 gauge tubing. At least one of the primaries has a different shape also. JetHot of course coats both.
They were also designed to tuck up tighter for more ground clearance. Some sets were too tight on the drivers side. I was told by JetHot that the D-port headers had this issue. The oval ports did not.
