Budget bang= Pacesetter
My choice Kook's = quality, ease of install and fitment is very good.
I have had the SLP'S and Hooker's as well. SLP's hung to low and I ground them down as careful as I was and the coating was wearing off of them.
Hooker's were nice but either due to a weak weld or lean condition in a cylinder, I blew the AIR tube with block-off plate straight out of the pipe and the coating was wearing off of them as well.

LPP makes a really nice set of stainless steel LT's for a very great price. My friend and I and a couple buddies just installed a set on a '00 Z28 and it was a breeze and the fitment was nop notch!! I would recommend them to anyone anyday and will be looking to change out my old LT's and go with a set of these someday!!
BBK long tubes are the best fitting headers I have come across. The header primaries are 1.75". They have ball flanges for easy adjustment and the y pipe is a 2 piece design that includes a torca coupler for good seal and ease of adjustment. The y pipe is 2.5" into 3", which makes much more sense that most 3" y pipes that merge into a single 3" pipe. This design also allows for better ground clearance. You can buy the headers/y pipe combo COATED for $500 shipped.

BOSS APPROVED!
I've had both Jet Hot and QTP.
The Jet Hot coating does not prevent rust. Mine had surface rust within 6 months, and I don't remember taking the car out in any rainy conditions. They are a decent header though, and have a 3yr warranty on the coating for surface rust.
The QTP's are a decent price for stainless headers. They look good too, as they are polished. There are fitment issues though with the QTP's. Mine don't touch the K member like others have had. Mine are almost or are touching the body, near wear the tow hook point is underneath.
If I had to do it again, knowing what I do now, I'd spend the extra on a set of Kooks or ARH.

LPP are the best all around. They are stainless, fit awesome(no notching), have the high velocity merge collector and merge spike, Y pipe has a mount on the driver side to prevent banging on the floor boards!!! Dont forget they are 1 3/4 primaries and stepped to 1 7/8.
You will not find a better stainless LT header and ORY pipe combo with the features they have!!! All for 600 shipped to your door
