Default Air Oil Separator

I'm looking for some opinions on which is the most functional air oil separator on the market. Ease of install info would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Owen

Also interested in this info.

Was looking at the Grimspeed AOS or the Hyperflow catch can/battery bracket

Which AOS is reputably better?

Hyperflow is the one to go for on Subaru. It actually has enough fittings for all the breather hoses.

I reckon they are good for daily duties but can't cope with the excessive amounts caused by laps.
I've chucked a catchcan between the AOS and inlet and it catches oil. It should be clean.

Guys, what are your opinions in regards to installing an AOS on a reasonably new car/daily? Just curious as I have been reading a lot of performance places in the states put them on as one of their first mods, but most people who use them here seem to be for race application only.
