Are you looking at CAIs or just different air cleaners? (there is a difference). Specifically, many (most?) aftermarket air cleaners are not CAIs although the manufacturers (and many folks on here) use the terms interchangeably. The stock air filter already outflows the LS3, so you won't see any power improvement unless you go to a true CAI system.
Many folks swear by the Vararam system.

If you want the maximum power performance, then Vararam is it. If you want the maximum filtration performance, then the OEM is it. Anything else is a compromise in one direction or the other.
