I gotta think properly engineered heat shields are better than coating both in heat protection, and lifespan (which is why they're used OEM)... but they take up a bunch more space, cost more, and add a further failure point for rattles and the like.
To be honest, I'm a bit nervous buying an aftermarket exhaust pipe w/ a heat shield, but I don't have the time to get something jet coated, so I'm giving it a whirl.
