Other than the lower underhood temperature, its really a manner of aesthetics.

The ceramic coated ones will look much nicer for a much longer time, and the chrome ones will turn a blueish color the first time you drive it.
I had chrome shorties on my car, and after about 2.5-3 years of use, they had barely rusted, and looked pretty much the same (blue) as the day I installed them (after they discolored)

Unless you have huge plans for the car, I don't think the underhood heat loss will justify the extra cash, but thats just my opinion.
