I don't know how long the ceramic coating lasts but the HTS from MAC doesn't last too long.

Simply put, HTS = no coating.

Ceramic is the best, but I'm skeptical as to whether MAC's "ceramic coating" could substantiate months and years of repeated heat cycles.

I'd get the chrome if you don't mind the discoloration.

Industrial plated is just another chrome coating.

HTS is crap - won't last a couple months. I got my rusting HTS coated MAC headers Jet-Hot coated and they will last for many years and look the same. The down side is it's kinda pricey - $180. You get what you pay for.
