The issue is everyone's idea of drone or no-drone can be completely different. Same with what's loud or not loud. Even YouTube videos don't always convey what it's like to live with those exhaust mods.
Often, it's going to be trial and error, make the best initial decision and adjust if you have to. Maybe try the delete with resonator, then remove resonator, then add muffler. In the end, you may have wished you went with a full cat-back in the first place, ending up paying the same money in parts and labor. Which is what I did with one of my cars. It was 3 to 4 times back at the muffler shop before I got what I wanted when I could have just bit the bullet and cried once with the cat-back system.
On my RAM, I got lucky, welded on a Flowmaster Outlaw for $275 for parts and labor and couldn't be happier. Sounds like a 60s Muscle car, no drone at constant speed, though a bit of drone with MDS, but that's expected with a muffler only change. But again, this is based on my own opinion which is hard to quantify to others not first hand experience it.
