Long tubes are overrated (Hooker Super Comp, FLP, TPIS, Pacesetter). Their only advantage is that they give a "slight" advantage down low over a shorty mid.
Stay away from shorty headers (Hooker, JBA,). Not worth the gains when much more can be had from a emissions legal Mid length.
Mid Length headers is where it's at. You get some of the best of both worlds. Arizona Speed and Marine are arguably the best headers out there for 99.9% of our applications. If you don't believe me ask Injuneer on CZ28.com. He has a buddy who only saw gains by moving to LT's once he got past the 850 HP mark I believe it was.
MAC's are a great bang for the buck, RK Sport are almost a direct copy of ASM, SLP makes a good piece, Edlebrocks TES was being used on the fastest car at the GMHTP Bolt-On shootout.
Plenty of options out there. My personal recommendation?? Spring for the ASM headers. If you're only going to stay a bolt on car, shoot for the Mac's as they have outstanding plug access, but may come up a bit lacking on a head/cam car due to the 1 5/8 primary ID.
