Might want to try the search feature, this topic has a ton of feedback and opinions, you can probably narrow you choices considerably.

I have Hooker LT and I like them so far for their decent price and their awesome finish. I can not say too much about power gains(no dyno), but they are there, especially the SOTP meter. I was not to concerned about power being the best on the market, but I was concerned about price and the fitment. Neither were the best but I did not break my wallet and I did not break my knuckles installing them myself. Here are a few threads on Headers that should help out.

I have the Thunder Racing LTs. They are a very nice header. They are the same as QTP but in a non-stainless version.

I have hooker headers. I went cheap and bought the noncoated ones. I have yet to find any proof that any other header makes anymore power than the these. I would just like to add If I was buying a new set of headers I would buy the coated pacesetter headers. One of my buddies just installed a set and they look great and work just as well as anything ive seen. If you neeeeed to have stainless headers the Kooks headers look real nice too. Just something to think about
