"The Best" is always hard to describe, as you need what works the best for you. For others, it may be something different. I do agree with Luke to go with a Dry filter. After that, I can't really see much difference between a lot of these stage 2 air filter kits. Personally, I think whats best is the one you like the look of, and perhaps the price. They all flow air really well. If it was me, I'd go S&B, but that's me and my geographical location as reasoning.

By geographically I meant I can get the product in Canada without shipping, instead of paying shipping and border fees.

Just remember "best," regardless of what you install, is almost always with very rare exceptions (custom stuff), going to be a compromise between flow rates and filtration efficiency. Where you live and drive as well as how you use the truck can be big factors in that decision.
