Recommendations for a good BOV

Okay, I have a vf34 setup, with the stock tmic right now. My stock bov is leaking so i need to replace. I hear that the HKS SQV will all eventually leak, and was recommended to the aps bov. I was just wondering what others i should get? ... i'm thinking recirc cause i dont want to cause any problems with the MAF, but is there a 50% or 100% that wouldn't cause any issues in the long term? So the ones that are on the top of my list are APS TMIC BOV, TIAL BOV, and the Blitz DD BOV.

I've always liked the Forge 100% recirc, but I dunno how well it holds.

WORX tuning stage 2 bov. I have it on my sti and it is awesome. The vents are totally adjustable so it can run 100% open or closed and anywhere in between. The only complaint I have is that when it's open it isn't loud enough. It bolts right up to the intercooler in the stock location and uses the stock plumbing

I'd check out the works and the sard r2d2.

What sound do you like though? Personally, I can't stand the sound of the ssqv.
