Question Which coating should I do on my header???

Im just wondering which coating I should get on my header and downpipe im ordering on monday. Its a Kamikazee combo with copper gaskets and I need to know which would give me the best performance first and looks second. Even if you guys think I should wrap both with heat wrap, lemme know.

Here's the options:

I have the ceramic coated and i love it. All 3 headers will give you the same performance since they're from the same company. Whatever you do..... don't heat wrap - that looks ghey if you ain't running a turbo.

I just ordered the hi-temp black one. I heard the Nickel polished gets dirty quick. But I don't think you'll be disappointed in either one.
