IMO Reliability, best flow under 350hp at the wheels (aftermarkets have bigger long runner manifolds that increase turbo lag slightly as much larger air volume to fill/pressurise), best control of killer temps, easiest removal etc - all hands down best is the stock manifold or stock manifold with slight porting/port matching.
Aftermarket quality manifolds are about $1600+ and have no gains from the description of your application.
Dump pipe and exhaust, intercooler and piping, fuel pump, bushings, many items have benefits to upgrade / aftermarket, factory manifold is best. Only time manifold should be professionally upgraded when flow restrictive (when above 350hp). If you have cash to spend, better spent on other items.
