Which set of headers would be best for my lowered car?

I've kinda got it narrowed down to either hedman or hooker competition headers because they are both pretty inexpensive. However my car is pretty low w/ and i don't want to go dragging them on everything, I bottom out enough already. Also I just noticed they don't have hookups for the oxygen sensor, so would they even work for me? Thanks for the help.

i'd go hedmann shorties (99$) and y-pipe(99$). those doesn't have O2 bung, but you can weld it easily to y-pipe (maybe 5$).

this set will use original exhaust routing so clearance wont be issue.

hookers:
pn #2460 for 1-5/8" primary headers with 3" collectors. $141 At summit
#2460-1 with ceramic coating.
They don't think they include a Y pipe.

headman prices from P.A.W.)
68460 $115
68470 $116 <-- no o2 sensor I think. Footnotes says it needs another part to use o2 sensor #21107

you should take your engine out and put headers on a 350 and put it back in. I'd go with the hookers tho. Anything that says hookers has to be good.
