whats better J or X heads

Those hedmans headers work great in mid 60's Abodies due to tight engine compartment / space between header and steering box. That front pipe on the one header has been cut and moved side ways to clear steering box same with the hole that has been patched on the side of the header . I seen an article on here some where showing how that header fits/clearance space by steering box. 280.00 compared to 600-800.00 dollars . Ill take the 280.00 headers keep the spit fires and the douges ,TTi's ect
