Default best headers?

im a newbe here but have been learking around for a bit. I have found a lot of reports on LT headers but haven't found a company that everyone is a big fan of. I'm looking for something stainless or at least coated. Also with Cats or soo called cats. My truck is an '04 Chevy 2500HD with the 6.0L in it. Can someone shed some light on what company has the best fit and finish?

Thank You

if you want real cats go with the dynatech long tube headers and catted y-pipe stainless too

if you dont need cats get the pacesetter lts and ory ceramic coated

if you want gutted cats get pacesetters ceramic coated and use stock y-pipe( i think that will work)

I bought a set of used ASM's and they still look like new
