SLP IS the delphi maf. If you take the SLP sticker off, "Delphi" is stamped under it. There is no difference.

SLP = Delphi + resistor + sticker.

This is a topic that will give you too many search
results, to read in one sitting.

Short answer is, leave it stock (at least until you
have run out of more effective things to buy).

Do not waste your money. Search the forums and you will find the majority (including those with drastically modified setups) prefer the stock MAF to any aftermarket one. I have personally tried (during the newbie phase) an SLP compared to a stock MAF and I was surprised that I did lose some HP compared to my stock unit.

Suggestion: Clean your stock unit with some basic rubbing alchol and do not port, descreen, or otherwise mod it. Save your money for a ported TB, you will not reget that purchase.
