If you want more torque, add a s/c, but like everyon else said go with the basics first i/h/e. Then later when you add a t/c or s/c, make sure your engine is setup to handle whichever application.
First of all how much are you willing to spend on the header? Are you looking for high end power (4-1) or mid end power (4-2-1)? IMO i'd go with the 4-2-1.
Personally, I haven't heard of "hotshot" headers.
