Which Header should I use??
I have a 1995 Honda Accord EX coupe
5 speed with a f22b1 engine.
What header should I get?
Or does it really matter?
DC Sports header was recommended to me, but I've seen both good and bad reviews for this header.
Is there a brand that works better than the others?
I'm looking for Power as well as good MPG.

Bisimoto.com is the place to find his stuff.
I would say that for your car his header may be a bit over the top. There are a few good headers in the $250-$400 range. I have only had personal experience with the Ractive 4-2-1 header that I bought 6 years ago. I am replacing it this year but not because it's broken or worn out. It's stood the test of time for me going through 5 salty cold winters. I have never had my car on the dyno so I don't have any power numbers. But I can remember the first night I had it on my car. In conjunction with my cold air intake it sounded great to me. 80% of the sound from my car was from under the hood not at the muffler. That audio placebo effect made me think I had more power. Still wasn't going to be able to keep up with the little ricers though....

A DC header is not worth the price tag. Megan racing are the same exact design, same materials, and make near identical power (not much), but cost about half the price of a DC.
If you're looking for better power gains, you will need to step up to a custom race header. As you saw, they can be pretty expensive, but will out perform the cheaper headers by a great margin.
Look around for a honda-tech sponsor for the best price.
