Default Junkyard engine came w/o MAF. What replacement should I get?

My 2010 L96 6.0 came w/o a MAF cuz was ruined in the wreck. So I need a replacement. What MAFs will work? Is there a best one to get? I will have the car tuned to include dyno if that matters (and will be porting the TB). Just want to make sure the connector works with my stock harness that is being reworked. Appreciate your thoughts and counsel.

I think there are 3 pin and 5 pin versions. Might double check that. I just picked one up for $15 or so from a yard. 5 pin would have the iat built in.

oops...now found another more serious problem. The throttle body electrical connector was sheared off. Should I try to get another at a yard or is there a performance TB I should be looking at if spending $$?

I guess you should ask yourself how much extra performance you are really going to get for that extra $$, which for all practical purposes will likely not be much. There are plenty of other things to spend $$ on.

Easiest solution to both problems.

Mot much to gain out of a MAF, and you could have your current TB ported, but probably not much to gain there with anything other than a really radical build.
