The Magnaflow is the most common swap.

Not sure if you were answering my post, but I think everyone is familiar with the Magnaflow resonator that is a recommended replacement in the Duratec Performance sticky. I want to discuss these other options which I think may be viable. The Magnaflow, in my opinion, is too deep and I've heard that it creates drone which sucks.

Anyone chime in that has used Vibrant or Hushpowers on any car?
 
I was indeed since you asked what the "real" resonator was. That Vibrant looks to be exactly the same as the Magnaflow so expect some drone until it breaks in (and maybe some afterwards). As far as the other goes it might be a little more standard of a muffler since it doesnt say "straight through" but that might just be the "cooling" design covering a straight through-type muffler like the magnaflow which would still be prone to drone.
