Your best choice of headers and uppipe will depend on what turbo you intend to run. Regardless, you should avoid cheapo ebay copies which may perform worse than the standard headers and will possibly crack after fitting.

Best value for money and performance would be your existing headers properly ported, DEI heat wrapped with a new purpose designed slip jointed, stainless steel uppipe. £369 exchange, £12.50 carriage and you have three weeks to get your old headers back.
Unless you are prepared to spend £600 upwards you won't get a good set of tubular headers and uppipe that will perform well and last a long time.

Definitely the option I would choose. Standard headers ported and wrapped will beat most aftermarket ones whilst retaining OEM quality and fitment.

Yes. Thanks.
And do not use cheapo heat wrap as it falls off fairly soon. Properly wrapped headers, subject to service with DEI heat wrap, 3 years plus.
