I went with AEMs. I installed them after installed headers and exhaust. Gains were dramatic after 6500 rpm, don't expect too much lower than that due to the efficiency of the stock setup. The ETI module that comes with the AEM's may seem like a gimmick, but they kept my AFR's from going too lean without tuning. ETI will adjust the MAF sensors to read correctly with the larger diameter tubing. Another bonus is having dry filters, no oiling. But the biggest reason I bought them was because I found the dark grey powder coated ones for $372 on Amazon... That's a screaming deal.

Like the other guys have mentioned, Stillen G3's are the standard. If you ever want to put the stock ones back on for resell, you may want to go another route. Luckily, we have a lot of options.
