if you have the money - Crawfords are the best
If you have a limited budget, get the Strup or Topseed.

If money is no option, I would say to get the Crawford headers... around $1200. If money is somewhat of an issue, I think probably the Strup or Alphawerks are probably some of the best middle priced ones.. around $500-600 maybe. Lastly, if you dont have a lot of cash to drop, I would say to get the Topspeed headers. Thats what I am running and they are copies of the DC Sports headers. I paid $230ish for mine. They are stainless and not ceremic coated. I believe the pre-release dynos showed around 10-12 RWHP gains on a stock motor for the Topspeed ones.

Whats wrong with the ceramic ones? I have had them for a while now with no problems. It's not like you get more HP from the SS ones.

He said he will do a dyno before and after. If i don't get that much gain of hp, i don't have to buy the unichip.You have unichip, what is your hp gain?

topspeed is a copy of strup which is a copy of dc which is a copy of nismo. (with alphawerks being a copy of one of them too, haha)
don't forget that with Crawfords, the install cost will be double because of the complexity of their install.

Crawfords shouldn't be double the install cost. They might be a bit more work to fit them in, but nowhere near 2X the price. Also, the DC, Strup, topspeed, ect are NOT copies of nismos
They are close, but not the same:
Nismo:
Coated Topspeed headers:
They have a similar design, the biggest diffrence I see is being in the collectors.
