Default Advice on catch can

Longtime member, but haven't been here in a while. Busy with other projects!
I have a 2005 with bolt-ons. Runs great. Stock intake manifold.
Is it worth putting a catch can on for oil vapors? Which one is the best? Vendors here?
Any advice welcome.

I have an 06 with only Corsa exhaust and a cold air intake and I have a catch can. I was surprised at the amount of oil it catches. When I say that, in the big scheme of things, its not that much but more than expected. I have just under 20K on the odometer so it is not ragged out.

The one I bought was from CCA(Custom Corvette Accessories). It is very well made and install was a cinch. They are a supporting vendor on the forum.

There are a lot of others and they are all nice and well built, so for the most part it is personal preference. Below is the link to the CCA one. BTW, I have pics of it installed in my profile (garage) if you care. Good Luck.
