Which Catback exhaust to pick?

Hey Guys,
Had my WRX 2006 for six months now, and looking to do some mod's. I want to put on a catback exhaust but dont know which one to purchase. Looking for some recommendations. Want something not to loud, but sounding mean.

Which one is better or what information can you tell me:

COBB SS 3
INVIDIA N1
SUBARU SPT
MAGNAFLOW
BORLA

I have the SPT and I like it. Good rumble, but not too loud. I've heard lots of good things about the Borla Hush too. The SPT is right around $400.
