Default exhaust re-do opportunity...advice?

I have the opportunity to redo the exhaust system on my old '94 chevy because a guy rear ended the truck and ruined the current exhaust system. I have headers on it already, with a custom true dual (no crossover). This time I plan on installing an x-pipe if I can find one for cheap, but an H-pipe at a minimum. What mufflers do you guys recommend? I want something that performs in this order:

1) performance
2) sound quality
3) volume

I hear good things about the bullets, but I have also heard good things about the new flowmaster super 40's. what do you all think?

get a magnaflow x pipe. 75 dollars on ebay. I like the 40's but they were not loud enought for me. I run a 1 chamber. Performance wise go with magnaflow.

I think the Hooker Aero Chambers are worth looking at too. That's what I plan on going with.

Definetely get an x-pipe. They can be found for $75-80. On my '97 I had headers, 2 hi-flow cats, x-pipe, and dual flowmaster 40's dumped before the axle. It sounded really good, but there was a drone at around 2000 rpm's. Also, putting an h- or x-pipe on your dual exhaust system will make it quieter than without a crossover.
