The stock intakes draw air from outside the engine and really can be considered a cold air intake. The Cobb MAF tubes smooth out the air flow which is considered an advantage. The K&N filters use oil to help the filtration and some believe there is a chance the oil can foul the sensors in the intake. Also, the K&Ns allow more air to enter with a little less filtration and some think that is not a good idea. Read the air filter comparison at the bobistheoilguy site. Also, what ever intake you choose the Modshack vent mod is a very good idea.
