Keep catch can or do LS6 PCV conversion?

I currently have a catch can but am wanting to clean the engine bay up a little bit so I'm considering, while I have the motor out and apart doing my H/C swap, just doing the LS6 PCV Conversion. However, I've heard that this doesn't really do a good job of keeping oil out of the intake and that a catch can is the best way to do it. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Drew

Uhh, both?

The LS6 PCV doesn't reduce the need for a catch can. I'm doing the PCV conversion just for the sake of custom valve covers and to get rid of the PCV hoses coming off them.
