Your choice.
HP gains will be about the same with either choice. They both achieve the same result: Getting fresh air to the intake on a low restriction path. Posted Dyno results bear this out.
If you are going for performance only, the SLP kit is the best choice. Same results for a cheaper price.
If you want the aesthetics of the RA hood, then you have to decide if the looks are worth the price.
