Should i go the test pipe route, have the hfc replaced (probably the worst idea since permanent viagra), or put the stock cats back on?

Leave the cats stock. Just use a non-res exhaust. It will be the same difference in sound and hp. Either No resonators on the exhaust on a stock cat or test pipe on a resonated exhaust will still give similar gains. Unless you are changing everything from the intake, headers pipes and exhaust. The switcharoo won't make a big difference. The only true difference is forced induction.
