What headers to choose?

What headers to choose?
I've tried searching threads and haven't come to any direct conclusion.
I am going to possibly replace headers back (complete exhaust). I'm not looking for pavement moving performance just a nice kick in the pants with intimidating sound.
I have the 5.4 V8 2004 (new body NOT heritage).
I don't know what brand headers to go with...JBA, Dynatech, Pacesetter, Gibson, Other? I'm not looking to spend thousands to get this done.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I currently run the Supermaxx by Dyantech and I am 100% pleased with it so far. I noticed a gain in low end power. The sound is awesome too, guess that depends on what exhuast you have but the Headers and Hi-Flow cats that come with Supermaxx are great. Mine is a stainless steel system. I think they all are stainless steel. You cannot go wrong with Dynatech. A little advice, do go cheap when buying headers! I know that money doesnt grow on trees but Headers are a "want" not a "need" so start saving your money until you can buy a quality Header. Dynatech uses a stronger and thicker gasket therefore you dont need to worry as much about "blowing" a gasket. A lot of headers out there are cheap in price but they also give you wafer thin gaskets and I promise you will be kicking yourself when you have to replace them. Whatever you buy dont buy shorties! You want long tubes. Do a little research and you will find a lot of users that had shorties and gained nothing from them therefore they bought longtubes. Okay, that was my two cents
