What I want and what I can afford are very different matters :) I too 
needed the < $200 header and I chose the AutoTech "Tri-Y" , about $150. 
The header is pre-drilled / tapped for O2 sensor and fit was 100% 
correct. The 4 into 1 makes more horses, but hp cost! The AutoTech comes 
with a nice spring-loaded swivel to lessen the risk of cracking.

Another note on headers and Rocco's, don't wrap the thing in insulation 
tape. You can do it and "maybe" get +1 hp, but the header will very 
quickly become VERY brittle (aka - "Fall Apart")
