well...they're both particularly loud...performance wise is almost even...i think its all up to looks i guess...if you like the angled look or the straight look...
i myself have a Blitz...its hella loud...got me one ticket (in waikiki) and a warning (after being stopped for no front license plate)...the first ticket was only the catback...and the warning that i got was when i had my downpipe with the cat back....

I agree with .: 808 STi :. on either Blitz or HKS, if you want it loud, go with the Blitz Nur spec. I have heard it on other members cars, and at idle it sounds awesome. Ask Infek, he can tell how loud it can be. The HKS is a bit quieter compared to the Blitz.
get the hks cf/ti if you want looks and like 808sti said, get the blitz for the loudness. only downside to the hks one is that i think the piping runs pretty low to the ground and its a lot more expensive. i think at speedgear it was 900 for the hks cat-back. the blitz one is cheaper by 300 bucks i think.

hmm...if you wanna go cheap...go for "helix" brand UP/DP...but you're gonna need what we call a electrical CEL fix...PDE is a very respectable Downpipe, it has what we call a mechanical CEL fix where the O2 sensor is relocated to a different place...
but anyway...go for a downpipe with a bellmouth or twin dump design...and go for an up pipe with a flex joint...these are the best ways to go...
but all it comes down to is...how much you're willing to spend...

HKS: pro's -- good power (especially torque increases), deep but not too loud sound, angled look
con's -- angled look, low to the ground, some people don't like the big tip and muffler
Blitz: pro's -- good power (especially horsepower increases), sits higher off the ground, straight look, smaller tip and can
con's -- straight look, smaller tip and can, LOUD LOUD LOUD!
Overall, I'd say go with a catback first. The Blitz Nur-Spec axleback is just for the looks and sound, no performance upgrage (except maybe slightly quicker response). Uppipe and downpipe can wait; when the time comes, Helix is a great value (fairly cheap and great fit and quality). Be careful if you go catless though: an observant cop might be able to smell a lack of cats (it stinks pretty bad).
