neither... stick with the stocker
the slp is actually a grantelli one just w/an SLP logo... but they should both flow and tune the same (although i have tuners having problems with the SLP)

Although the MAF is smaller the air will flow thru it faster. It's proven that the stocker can handle way in excess of 500rwhp.
Plus I read a thread a while back where I think it was Tony @ AFR claimed on a h/c/i bolt on LS1 making around 480rwhp a 85mm MAF (when tuned) was only worth in the region of 3-5bhp.

A PACEparts CALIBRATED Z06/ls6 MAF is best. Why? Because it is calibrated, the tuning numbers for the range of MAF digital signals corresponds to stock ls1 tuning, not stock z06 tuning, which is very DIFFERENT. Most likely there would be little to no tuning required, but it's always smart to get a tune when you combine lots of parts (do it at the same time when you add headers and other boltons to save money).
As far as a 85 mm actually being worth it, that's debatable. I have not seen solid proof either way, except for my own testing, which showed better throttle response with the larger MAF, much like porting the TB.
I say this over and over, I can't see why porting the TB would have gains, and going to a larger MAF does not. Until someone can prove that, I am going to say it's worth it on a bolt on or above car.

Ask anyone if they felt a difference with a ported tb, and most will say yes. A ported tb has been shown to give an additional 10 hp alone.

putting NOS octane booster in your gas tank
feel free to add to the list.
