Kits are a good choice if you MUST have a certain type of stainless or mandrel bends, but some shops do mandrel bending with stainless (409 and 304) as well, so you just have more options.
Just be sure and research the shop and type of work they do.

See this thread. My friend and I put together a borla cat back for 300 installed with tip and it sounds great. Remove the resonator if you want good sound. Didn't use stainless.

Also the 2009/10's come without a resonator, thats why I ordered a 2010 5.4 mid-pipe for my 2012 5.0, to replace the resonator that comes on the new trucks. Thats also one big reason the 09/10's are louder and this will give you a great sound just by replacing that Whale of a factory long muffler. 
Your 2005 does not have any resonators in the exhaust system. That is why I never originally mentioned anything of a resonator.

I personally feel the 2011+ are still louder, stock for stock, even with the resonator. Not the Ecoboost of coarse. But the 5.0L is heard stock even with the resonator in place.
