ats.......$1047
hypermax.......$1445

Brandon with your future plans I don't think the ATS or the H-Max will fit your needs. I am far from convinced that they will perform well when larger injectors are added to the mix. I know Dale at Tymar preaches them only. I have had my ear tugged as well. But they are just so small! They are also far from being in the best spot for air flow and the tubing is longer (though the cooler is smaller so it may even out for lag).
With your plans, and only having to do an IC once. I would recommend either a 6.0 cooler with Banks piping (cheapest, some fab work), or one of these three (not even positive they will fit, that will take some research)
DI Performance - Products
Spearco 6.0L Intercooler retrofit kit for the 7.3L Ford Powerstroke
Hypermax - Product Display
And I think all three of those would still need a pipe kit.
If I were to choose between the three you listed I would go with the Banks. While it still may be over priced and paying for a name I don't think the other two are much better in that respect.
