LongTubes are obviously the "best" of the three power wise, but there are some drawbacks. They are the most difficult to install (Shops might charge 300-600$ for this install), they have the worst ground clearance, and lastly, they are usually the most expensive. I would suggest them if you have a car with forced induction, or maybe nitrous, to really utilize the added flow they have to offer. If you aren't going to go crazy with your motor, and stay NA, I would suggest midpipe and catback only, and just keeping the stock headers. I generally don't suggest shorty headers only because they don't have enough benefit for you. Your money would probably be better spent on Plenum/TB as opposed to shorty headers. JMO
