Sounds like you already know LG is the best, given that, this is really simple.......
If $$$ is an issue....go with the streets, if not get the PRO's.
I too think they maximize my other mods, H/C etc......but as AU N EGL said, they are loud.
Apparently not enough for me though, I put B&B PRT behind mine and now I R e a l l y LOVE 'EM

LG Pro headers make the most power, as far as I have seen. The street headers are no better than Kooks or ARH, in my opinion.
A bolt-on car really has no need for the Pros (again, my opinion). I'll be buying ARH.

My car dynoed 342rwhp & 360rwtq with a Vararam,LG Streets and Ti exhaust. Tune added a big fat 0 to the numbers. Now would I have gone with LG Pros to get that extra 5rwhp...Heck no!
Now if you are planning on adding Heads/Cam or FI, I'd go with Pros so that you can fully benefit from the added mods.

Hi stormrider -
I went with the pro's because I plan on a head/cam setup in the future.
As stated, if you are not planning further mods then the streets would likely be a good choice.
I echo the sentiments of KidShalene - if you can afford them, get the pros, if the price difference is a big player for you, go with streets or something else.
I wanted the best on my Z.
Here is a clip of my Z at the drag strip:
http://www.iammoon.com/vids/cordova_..._oct202007.MPG
In regards to the "loudness" of the headers, I have stock Ti's and no cats, and my car is not objectionable loud to me, nor has my wife ever mentioned that my car was objectionably loud.
It is a little louder than it was stock, but not to the point I wake up the neighbors etc.
best regards -

Go with the long tubes and your good
LG PROs are proven to make the most hp & tq. If your going with headers and are going to spend the money for the parts / labor and /or
a tune, put on the Pro's. They come with a full 3" stainless x pipe also built by BORLA. Do the other headers come with this ? I have them and would buy them again in a minute. LG seems to have the killer combinations for power and driveability.

I had them on our 02 Z06 very nice design
I have AR on the 01 coupe now and I can say the quality and design look better on the LG but they are $$$$

So far I've done a BW CAI, LG Streets w/hi flow cats/x-pipe with TI's at the back, love the sound , dynoed at 327rwhp/335rwtq, but in June installing LS6 heads/LS6 intake/Z06 cam, 30lb fuel injectors, UD pulley, it's going to be interesting to see what the numbers change too, I'll let you guys know.

When I put my streets on, my car was just way too loud for a DD with my Corsa Pace Car mufflers. But after I have put on my Tourings....my car is almost near stock sounding while just cruising and at idle. Only when you get on it hard, does it get a little loud. But nothing overwhelming.
Such an easy sale.
