I guess it just depends on your priorities, if you just want to be able to say "my exhaust made 11hp" then why not get the Stillen, it's cheaper, and for good reason.
If you actually are concerned with performance and have money to spend, the Amuse is tough to beat. Consider that the Stillen exhaust INCREASES the weight of the exhaust by 25 lbs, while the Amuse is 30 lbs LIGHTER than stock. So that's already 55 lbs ahead of those with the Stillen exhaust. Then when I do a y-pipe I'll save even more weight and make even more power.
As the saying goes, speed costs, how fast do you want to go?
I chose this exhaust not only for the power potential but also for the weight savings, which is very dear to me. Thus far, I've been able to take out over 140 lbs out of the car without sacrificing comfort (i.e. stripping interior, removing A/C, etc).

19x9.5" TE-37's with 275/30-19 Pilot Sports : 17.0 lbs
(17x9.5" SSR Comp with 275/40-17 Kumho on track : 34.0 lbs)
Removed Spare and Jack (won't fit over my brakes) : 35.0 lbs
Brembo F&R Brake Systems : 7.2 lbs
Amuse Exhaust : 34.4 lbs.
Sparco Roadsters with custom mounts : 28.2 lbs
Drycell Battery : 20.0 lbs.
That's 142 lbs. with the street wheels on, and 159 lbs. with the race wheels. This is vs. the 17" wheels and small brakes on an enthusiast model. Topped up with fuel, my car weighed in at 3268 the first day I drove it home. I drove it immediately into the garage on onto scales, it had 6 miles on it.
