I have a 2014 Z51 and have had my Elite2 installed for ~ 1 1/2 years. I debated the same as to which one to use and desided to buy the Elite2 can but after 1) removing the OEM PCV hose and seeing no check valve, 2) since I don't track the car nor is it supercharged and 3) wanted the minimum flow restriction so what was added was similar to the OEM PCV system, I installed only one line without a check valve. Have the other line and check valve if I every see a reason to add it, which after 1 1/2 years I have not (if installing the second line it needs a check valve to prevent flow going back to the can from the hole in the intake air duct that you will need to drill .) Just need to install a 1/4 inch threaded plug in the unused exit hole opening. You could also buy the less expensive single hole can if you agree with my logic. This is a PDF of my install, with a discussion of the logic used: http://netwelding.com/Catch_Can.pdf
