whats the difference between "search" and "not searched" before posting question?

Hey, try to search next time, but in short, a EL header will give you more power, not by much, but it does. I believe its more low end power, I could be wrong. The UEL will give you the "rumble" that you hear come from most Subarus.

UEL tend to better smooth the torque dip and sound rumbly. EL usually get higher peak HP by a bit.

UEL seems most popular for this platform.

partially correct, UEL will give that traditional boxer rumble and a little more low-mid range power. EL has shown to have a bit more top end power.

Here's a good sound comparison video.

Edit: oops didn't see they beat me to it. Oh well.
