Does it matter whether I use a Magnaflow resonator as opposed to a Vibrant resonator? For some reason as I search threads I see people predominately using Vibrant resonators..

That looks pretty badly made.
I have a catless downpipe, custom 2.5" midpipes with magnaflow resonators (positioned where c_ozanich suggested) and a 3" muffler delete rear section (pic below). It honestly has practically no drone, it has more drone when I put the muffler back on. It is pretty loud when going WOT though.

I am assuming it is because you have resonators in replacement of the cats.

Is that muffler delete custom?

Yeah, I have a BMS downpipe then the rest is custom.
Also worth noting it can be a bit raspy.
I love it, my wife hates it.

Okay so I've came up with 2 solutions:

1) replace mid pipe cats with resonators

OR

2) put on a vibrant muffler

Now my only question is in terms of both mufflers and resonators is, does it matter what brand I go with? Vibrant, magnaflow, flow master, etc. ?
