Re: Headers
There are variables involved with header selection not to mention lots of opinions so it will be difficult to determine the "Best one".
If you give us your engines build configuration and your intended usage of the truck that will certainly help us get you headed in the right direction. Cheaper headers usually end up needing work to actually achieve proper sealing. This usually can be avoided by buying quality ones at a significant price premium. As headers are hand built one person's issues may not be a good representation of any particular brand's quality.

Re: Headers
I am using Hedman 63890 long tubes on a 350 with the 67-71 BBC frame mounts and a 4L80 transmission. They installed pretty easily but I did make small dents on the #5 and 6 tubes to ease plug installation and removal. I also grinded the top of the flanges a bit because I am using plug wire holders that mount to the side of the heads, and not the valve cover screws. This motor also has AFR heads with straight plugs; I don't know if the raised exhaust port makes things better or worse over stock cylinder heads.

Re: Headers
Sanderson headers mid length part # cc10 not cheap but worth it in my opinion.
