Default Choosing between headers, any advice?

So my truck has been paid off for a good 5 years now, its ten years old and I wanna spend a little money to make her purr a little better and feel a little better. Im gonna do the cai, headers, flowmaster super 44 exhaust can and get rid of the cats all in one day. (truck is complete stock now)

So i narrowed it down to these two, because there isnt crap for header selection for a 2007 4.2 v6. (no big gains, no market, i get it)

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/g...rd/model/f-150 (gibson headers)

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/j...rd/model/f-150 (jba cat4ward headers)

Anyone ever seen these put on or heard them? Anyone know which is harder to put on? On one website it says the JBA's have some problem with the oil dipstick being in the way, but several other reviews didnt mention it. Also, id rather have long tube headers but i cant find any, and ive searched a lot. Anyone know of any long tubes for my truck? Idc about the price as long as its not ridiculous.

mods if this is in the wrong place i apologize

Only long tubes for the 4.6L are pacesetter the 4wd headers will work
