Default Cylinder Heads

I have been waiting on AFR 205's but im being told that they are waiting on castings to begin making them again. Its been over a month now, and they said its going to be another month or so to get cought up. Is there any other good head out there? I dont know much about any other ones. Any help is needed, Thanks.

ETP has some new LS1 heads out (215's) that Andy @ A&A has gotten some good numbers out of. They're $2400, which seems to be they're only drawback. I'd wait a little while if possible, the competition's heating up in the head department.
