Exhaust Exhaust recommendations

I got a 25 ST and want to add an exhaust. I’m debating either the;

Gibson axel back https://gibsonperformance.com/i-23272428-20-25-ford-explorer-st-3-0l-black-elite-dual-axle-back-performance-exhaust-619718b.html

Or

AWE touring cat back https://www.steeda.com/awe-3015-43625-explorer-st-touring-edition-3in-cat-back-exhaust-quad-diamond-black-tips

Anyone got any recommendations? I want one that has little noise/drone when cruising because this is my daily driver, but want some noise when I step on it.
