Default Ceramic vs. Stainless Steel

I was planning on getting a DC Sports JDM header and wanted to heat wrap it and was thinking on getting the ceramic coated one since I won't be able to see the stainless steel anyways. But then I heard that ceramic coated headers crack easier and I would rather buy the more expensive stainless steel so that I don't have to replace a cracked ceramic one.
Which ones do you guys have? I really would prefere the ceramic since it is a few bucks cheaper, but won't buy it if it has a tendancy to crack or has any problems to it.

reason why cermaic coated is cheaper is cuz its milled steel under the coating

much weaker, more prone to rusting

why buy something cheap if u know u have to replace it later on....buy the right thing the first time
