headers w/ rust wont hurt performance. any coating will eventually flake and rust. just depends on what shop does the coating and how much u pay. i heard coatings from jet hot fail after 2 years. depends where u live etc etc. if u want to avoid rust get ss headers.

not burning money. coatings decrease the heat that radiates from the pipes. Stainless, although a great metal, is a metal, and conducts heat very very well. Ceramics are great insulators. The increased heat inside the tubes will help velocity slightly (maybe not noticeably...) and keep the engine bay cooler. And the engine bay cooler is definately a good thing.
