If you don't mind if it has some drone or not I would get the MBRP. I had this on my truck but that along with the LT headers and HF cats made for too much drone for my old ears lol. The MBRP is very very deep and really sounds great, better than anything else I've heard, if you like that kind of sound. As for performance, I would have to say the MBRP probably will give you more... speaking from my experience, another member over on f150online has the same exhaust set up I have now along with the same intake, but he also has cops, efans and UD pulleys. He had his done at Troyer Performance like I did mine, When I had the MBRP on my truck the HP and TQ numbers were higher than his. I don't have cops, efans or UD pulleys yet I still had higher numbers 
Since I couldn't take the drone I switched over the the Corsa kit like he has and I can tell (seat of my paints) that my truck feels like it has less power. Mike Troyer was happily surprised with the numbers he got out of my truck using the MBRP exhaust.
Again, if you don't mind the noise get it (might not even be an issue if you aren't doing anything other than the catback anyways), your truck will sound like a race truck. I even had another F150 owner slow down in traffic to ask what I had.

275.24HP / 338.23ftlbs Torque << good #'s for coming from Troyers stingy dyno, had I had it checked elsewhere the numbers would have probably been higher from what everyone else has said.
Mods to achieve this were;
The Dynatech SupermaXX LT Headers along with the Dynatech HF cats, MBRP SI/SO Catback, Airforce One 3.5" intake and a SCT Xcal-3 with Mike Troyer's tunes.

well the ss was like $400 so i went with the aluminized for 286. I have ss on my car but i will have my car longer than my truck. Some of my friends have the aluminized and its been 6 or 7 years before something rusted off. So im just going to paint the out side and spary the insides the best i can to seal the metal. So we will see if saving money will pay off in the end or if i will be buying another exhaust over the years.
