^ yup everyone seems to have their own opinions between these 3. I'm pretty sure there's another discussion about this with a lot of people's opinions. look it up!

I do not have experience with any of these, but I can give you my opinion on all of them as I have done a fair amount of research.

Berks are the most popular but some people complain about them failing prematurely. Some also complain about rasp.

FI HFCs are a better choice than the berks, in my opinion. Haven't heard really any bad things about them.

ART pipes are going to be the best option as far as performance, sound and build quality go. They will be quieter in all the right ways (less drone, rasp, volume). However they will smell since they are not catalytic converters.
