I would say ceramic for 2 reasons...

1. Ive heard chrome headers often turn blue because of all the heat they are exposed too and and up looking terrible.. and
2. The ceramic coated headers provide better insulation and keep the heat inside the header instead or radiating it into the engine bay, this untimatly causes hotter air to enter the engine and robs horsepower...

that is my understanding

Personally, I don't mind the bluing of chrome headers. I've been accused of being a bit "old school" though. hehe
