Default Ceramic coating or heat wrapping

What's the best to do, heat wrap or ceramic coating?

I'm looking at doing the headers, up pipe and decat downpipe. Do they both have similar insulating properties, I'm guessng ceramic coating would have better longevity?

What are the plus points and draw backs to doing these options, have any you had your turbos ceramic coated, if so how did that work out for you?

i normally have to take my manifolds off at the end of every year to rewrap them,which i dont mind doing now i got the hang of doing it.i suppose ceramic coating is more expensive to start with but will last a lot longer than the wrap, so is more cost effective in the long run.
