Default LT Headers: Slip or Bolt

Well as Christmas time approaches, I will hopefully be buying my present of LT headers. They will be hookers, but my question is. I like to often work on my car myself. So say I should need to work on it...ok I will. Should I go with slip on or bolt type headers? Which seal better and are easier to take off? Thanks guys!

I thought all the hooker LT have flanges that bolt together. The Exotic Muscle and Tpis have slip fittings.

My DRm headers have slip fit collectors. I use stainless band clamps to seal them so they won't crush the tubes together. They slip apart pretty easy when needed to.
