Default which cold air intake do you prefer?

Ok guys, what intake should i use on my truck. Its a 2001 chevy silverado with the 4.8 v8 in it. The only other modification is an exhaust. I was looking at the slp intake but I reallly want opinions on what the best intake there is for my truck. Thank you

I have a spectre on my 02 and I love it. Cost me $150 at advanced auto parts. Easy to put on, sounds good, and can notice a little extra power.

The ebay intake works fine and only costs $65 shipped. That being said, I don't think it made much if any SOTP difference on my H/C 6.0. It's a copy of the AEM design which is dyno proven to be the best CAI.
