Best look is subjective - do you want black chrome look or flat black or black ceramic coated? Forget about value - tips are uber expensive. Try some of the Board sponsors listed in the right side banner - AWE, Fabspeed, others.

Ditto - the AWE black chrome tips look great on my black 4S. If you're looking at more than tips, I'm really happy with the sound of the AWE cans and center muffler bypass as well.

Ceramic coated or powder coated? Two different processes.

Huh?.. 
that's Bovine Scatology.. My 'black smoke' powdercoated stock tips have over 4,000 miles on them, and they look as good today as the day I re-installed them.
I figured I'd try powdercoating the stock tips before I spent $500+ on tips from AWE or Fabspeed. I'm very happy with the results (which I know, isn't everybody's cup o' tea..). I'm even happier with the cost (less than $50).

I just got a quote for powder coating my stock tips today for $35. I figure I'll try that and see if I like it. Agree with the above poster, definitely worth checking this out before spending $500 on tips.

A lot of good options have been mentioned already.
If you want a good cheap set.
1. Buy a can of VHT black exhaust paint.
2. Remove exhaust tips
3. Paint exhaust tips
4. VHT will shine up when buffed... buff tips
5. Install tips.... done and for $5
If you dont want to DIY then ceramic coating is probably best choice without buying new tips.

Got the tips done at Lo-Ko performance coating located in Oak Lawn, Il... very pleased with the results.
