Default Cold Air Intake Question

I have done some research, but would like some other opinions as well. What is the best cold air intake for a C5 with LS3 in it. So far I am leaning towards the Halltech Killer Bee. What are your thoughts?

The "best" is the stock system, which collects cold air from the high-pressure zone on the outside front of the car, passing it through a very large-area filter, and straight to the intake.

The Haltech system is a very good setup. When I had a stock LS1, way back when Tony Mamo was still at AFR, he told me the best system he had found ((at that time, 15 years ago) was the Vortex Rammer, in combination with the Haltech Stinger air bridge. It hard to argue with him, because with a mild cam and some AFR 205 heads, he was running 11.20s@118-120mph, while still getting 25+mpg!! Haltech makes good stuff.......
