I like my Fuel one but then I don't know any different. I guess watching a variety of youtube clips will help.

I like the 'Fuel' pipes however i'd really like the hi-level link pipe that is illustrated on the curvy, any ideas where to obtain said beauty?

Another +1 for Fuel.
They sound immense, it's louder than my friends R1 with a full Akra system.

It'd be nice if it was a fast

I buy an exhaust based on power and torque curves. Not what sounds nice.

Up to you I guess.

Well as a slip on can adds no power to an SV, you buy for looks and sound. A full system adds maybe a few hp and does not justify the cost on that basis.

One of the nicest I have heard recently is the Scorpion Street Extreme, a very nice bit of kit too.

Best how? That's not a silly question, as:

Also the can that XYZ maker sells for the SV is the same can as they sell for umpteen other bikes too, only changing the end plate such that it is suitable to physically fit, ie clamp on, three bolt fitting, four bolt fitting.
Realistically speaking the differences are, in no particular order; price, quality of manufacture, appearance and sound. And the cheaper cans will blow their packing out earlier, meaning that they won't sound the same for that long anyway.

Buy the one that suits your pocket, eyes and ears.
