header buddy's vs. header reducers?

Anybody have any input on what I should by? My neighbor who is helping me with my exhaust has used the header buddy's and says they will save me a lot of headaches by not having to use the collector gaskets.

I should add that my main concern is that the ball and socket design of the header buddy might be more restrictive than a reducer.

Ball and socket connections are far superior than flanges and gaskets.

In your application I think that is the better choice.
