The advantage to the K&N is the airflow as it gets dirty in that it maintains a high level of airflow. There have been a number of heated debates on it's actual filtering capability vs. the AC paper filter. It is important that you seal it correctly when you install it as it doens't install the same as stock and requires a foam pad (supplied with the filter) and sealing grease. The other major advantage is it is a one time buy, since it can be cleaned and re-used when it gets dirty.
