If you are concerned with longevity, go with :
Timevalve Manufacturing - Stainless Steel Exhaust Systems and Catalytic Converters for Mercedes Benz, Vintage Ferrari, and other Classic Cars

They make Stainless Steel exhaust systems.

I think when I replaced the exhaust on the 85 300D several years ago, I used Ansa.
Was a straight bolt on w/o any problems. I replaced everything from Down pipe back.

As mentioned, with a Diesel engine it will last a long time compared to a gasser.
The Mufflers for the Diesels are a straight through design, so no baffles to create back pressure.
If I were to eliminate one, it would be the center Muffler.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
