headers installation questions

My first question is, which set of headers is the easiest to install on a 2000 m6 vette ? The candidates are :

(1) LG Pro
(2) American Racing
(3) Kooks

My second question is, how long is the average time to install each of those brands (from a mechanic point of view) ?

Thanks

I have the AR headers and install took 4.5 hour and i am not mechanically inclined. Hardest part getting the driver rear plug in and out did it on jackstands. Make sure on the driver side there is a connector clipped to the fender well and if you don't move that connector you will melt it and throw a code saying bad O2 sensor. Don't ask how I know.

LG's

It took the FIL and I about 4 hours to get the LG's on. Toughest part was getting the car high enough on the jackstands, and the driver's side rear spark plug. Passenger side was a tight fit. Had to pry on the motor to get it in from the bottom

I luv my LG's. Took about 4 hours. Hardest part for me was getting the alignment brackets to line up. Drivers side was okay. Passenger side was a little tough. Excellent headers though. Good power gains. Havent had any experice with kooks or AR, but I heard they were also great choices.
