Default Which Catch Can?

After doing my TB and Intake Manifold swap I kinda realized how necessary it was so I'm looking at getting one but not sure which is the best. After a quick google search I found Elite's, Souther Car Parts's, Corvette Garage's, and Mike Norris Motorsports. Whose does everyone use?

I had the Elite brand on my C5.....IMHO it is one of the best made. Remarkable quality --- you won't believe the threads and how finely made they are where the can screws onto the top. The whole thing just feels like quality. And take my word for it -- its a LOT easier to unscrew the canister than it is to open a tap valve on the bottom when it is time to empty it.....

Me too!

After installing my Cory Harris ported TB and intake manifold, I was convinced of the need for a catch can. Got that from Cory also:

I think it is Elite's.

AMW's looks good quality but are you able to unscrew it like Elite's and empty or do you have to use that valve/cap at the bottom?
