Default Which cutout to go with?

So I have a magnaflow catback and I'm ordering my ARH longtubes with catted y on Friday. I am planning on ordering a cutout to give me the louder sound I want at will. I can't decide. Between qtp and dmh though. I have done lots of research, I know dmh has a much longer warranty Than qtp. I heard dmh is hard to get a hold of though. But qtp comes with a stainless cutout pipe where as I don't think dmh does. So I need some help making my choice guys.

Thanks

-Dom

I went with a DMH 3" electric cutout. Easy to install and has worked great now for over 2 years. I use it ALL the time.

Would a DMH electric cutout bolt up to a QTP stainless cutout? I had to buy a cutout because I was having my exhaust installed and I couldn't wait for shipping (I live right by Summit) but I haven't purchased the electric valve yet...

QTP is my choice.
Seen to many issues first hand with DMH rattling and there lack of customer support.
