First off, do you have a 5-speed or Auto?
Second...alot of headers will give you generally around the same gains. The full all out real expensive race headers will give more, but generally speaking...give or take a few horses...most of the ones on the market that people generally get are all around the same in power levels.
Third...do you care how the header looks as well as performing, or do you not care about looks over time? I ask that because alot of headers that are out there may rust or turn color. You can fix this buy getting a header thats coated to prevent discoloration and help keep heat in, or you could just buy header/heat wrap.
Fourth...do you currently have an aftermarket exhaust on the car? Either mandrel bent aftermarket system, or a crushed bent "Monroe Muffler Special?"
