What is the best ultra-high temp ceramic coating available right now, who makes it, and who is a good shop to apply it?

I figured someone out there has some experience and input. My local shop uses Cerakote stuff but I'm willing to drive or ship if there's better out there.
I used Tom Nelsons guy and would definitely use him again. I figure he does a ton of turbo stuff. He told me the black coating is the best toughest that's available, he uses that on Indy car stuff. I didn't want black headers so I opted for the silver which lasted very well, up until the dynoing deal where it turned some (lots of heat but not the air movement of driving down the road, plus fully loaded engine). His silver coating was nicer than any others I've seen, and if I wouldn't have dynoed would have hung in there very well. Maybe there's something even better now.........
