from the little bit of research and asking i have done, people like them due to the fit and the convieniece of the whole package. instead of piecing everything together from different manufacturers, its all from the same place. not to mention, they are good looking pieces as well.
but mostly the fit IMO.

The Dynotechs are very complete, right down to the bolts and metal gaskets. They fit very well, and they are easy to install. The only reason some prefer the LGs is that there is a claim that they deliver more horsepower, however, looking at the sigs in this and another Corvette forum doesn't bear that out.
Your car will be noticably louder than before, but I think you'll find that it's only when you give it full throttle. At cruising or part throttle my car isn't any louder than it was prior to the header install.

I just put LG streets on because its a good quality header and the price special was just right.
I have the "muffler mod" and the headers made my car twice as loud. I was shocked at first, but getting used to it now. I could try to post my first vid of it if you want sometime.

I have the Dynamaxx exhaust system on my '04 Z06. The fit is finish is great and I am more than satisfied with the performance. The system is much louder than it was before the headers although I believe the choice of cat back effects the sound level more than the headers do.

Higher peak torque and area under the curve is where the LG's are ahead of the others. All the header brands make similar peak hp.
The LG's (the pro version) are the only ones with a merge style collector (with the neck down after the tubes join, then flare back up to 3") The merge collector, and full 3" center section, make the difference.
All LT's will be loud, they let through a lot more exhaust energy, especially without cats.

I got them on my car and from what the Vette Doctors told me is they use the best of the top setups out on the market and the area next to the collector creates more velocity than the others so more HP/TQ and they are priced about the same as the LGs and Kooks

Did you dyno your car? If yes did you notice some power increase?

P.S I would tuck in the band clamps so you don't pickup any debris.
