Which Headers???

Ok I’m contemplating adding headers, narrowed down to LG Pros, ARH, or possible Melrose (recommended by my local Vette shop in Maryland). I know that the LG’s give the most torque at lower RPM’s compared to the others. And the fit and install are good on the ARH’s. Also concerned about clearances especially from the collector to the ground, don’t want to always be concerned about denting crushing the headers.

Need some recommendations (and yes, I did search).
