Mind you, at this point we are talking about just replacing the cats on a stock exhaust at this point.
IMHO the difference in terms of gains between 150/200/300 cells cats is not so big. Naturally 150 is more opened than 300 one. But we are talking about 3/4 hp. Consider that F.I. HFC and their test pipes have a difference in terms of power of 4 hp.

So, for me, the question you have to do yourself is: which kind of sound i'm searching for? Very aggressive but without rasp (F.I. is the solution). With a tuned note (but with a little bit of rasp)? Here go Berk. Extremly near to test pipes with a race taste? 150 cells cats.

In your situation, if you're planning a new exhaust system, then i would go with products (HFC and CBE) made by the same manufacturer.

But remember, in any case, power gains will be very similar.
