Default should i run the upgraded pcv valve with my catch can??????

hi guys i have a catch can on my car, i have had it on there for a few weeks and i dont get to much oil in there (i check weekly) but i am running the upgraded pcv valve that everbody has been talkin bout, should i switch back to the stock one that uses the spring inside the valve? my current setup has the pcv valve be for catch can then after the catch can straight into the intake. i will post up pics later thanks guys

I never saw any difference running the newer PCV valve with the smaller orfice. I just went back to stock.
