Default Performance cat converter vs oem cat converter?

Three days ago I passed my smog test with flying colors in CALI!!!

With that said, I was wondering about what's the differences between a performance cat converter over a oem cat converter?

here's my spec
93 GSR DB2 Stock with RS-R EX MAG Exhaust system that bolts onto a JDM ITR 4-1 Header off a 98 Spec Integra with a stock oem CAT(Lived it's last life)

I'll be replacing my Cat converter sometime this week and I just wanted to know if I should just pay the extra money to get the performance cat converter or stick with the oem cat converters..

Thanks in advance
