Default HEADERS- Stainless or Ceramic?

Im looking into getting a new set of headers and wanted everyones opinion should i get stainless or ceramic? From some research i've been told ceramic is better because it omits the exhaust at a cooler temperature but i wanted to get some more feedback of course im going for max horsepower not concerend on looks so any help will be great...

Ceramic keeps the heat in the pipe.
Go with the ceramic coating on a stainless pipe!

Um...welcome???

Go with your preference since either one won't give a significant gain in horsepower compared to the other. I do, however, prefer ceramic...

Go with the Dynatech headers from RPMoutlet.com. They are stainless but you can get them ceramic coated.
