Take a closer look at the Gruppe-S. Similar performance, sound and build quality to the Tomei, but is less expensive.
Bob at Drift-Office did a comparison that speaks to this.
JDL makes great headers, no doubt, but they're on the expensive side. You may have a marginal gain, but for that price I'd toss an EL header like the Ace into the ring for a different sound but much better performance.
Barring price, sound is a preference. Here are some clips from my car, which has the Gruppe-S UEL header: (among other things that adjust the noise)
Roll on WOT pull from middle of 2nd to bottom of 4th

After installation, sounds a little deeper now
