I am going to replace the MAF tomorrow, and is there one better than the other?

Is price a factor in one being the "right" one Which one do I look for?
While I am at the parts store I am going to replace the water pump on this 2003 5.3.
Same thoughts Price Vs. Quality?

IMO get the stock MAF for your application if your going back with a stock motor. Same with the WP, just get the one with lifetime warranty.

The truck and van mafs are different. The truck style is slightly larger. If you look at the parts list on my build there is an older version of the truck maf you can get for under $100 that works just as well as the new style.
