I saw the set up of the PRM one and decided to buy it thinking I could modify it slightly to lengthen the hose and create a better and enclosed intake. I was looking at creating a direct cold air feed to avoid taking air from the engine bay, like my K&N does just now.
A little experimenting never hurts
The K&N does sound great on vtec though.....

I often wondered about the ridiculously long intake tract.
Purely theoretically, there should be a small gain from denser, colder air charge.
BUT, there will also be a significant pressure drop negating any gains IMO.
It would generally be better to accept slightly HIGHER intake temperature but with less pressure drop across the filter by using a shorter intake and a low drop filter like a K&N.
Pressure drop is far more significant in BHP gains than the temperature alone.
If you get both then wahoo, but I can't see how on this engine.

As both do very little I would say the cheapest.
K&N gets my vote... love it
