Good info, but the PCV sytem does far more than just release excess crankcase pressure. On a street engine, the proper PCV system keeps a clean air flow through the crankcase that removes the moisture, unburnt fuel, and corrosive combustion by-products (Sulferic acid being just one) that "flash-off" during operating temps....and without a "flush" through the crankcase will re-condense back onto the internal parts & engine oil causing extensive damage over time. The proper catchcan does need to be prperly designed inside to #1, catch-cool& condense the oil mist/vapors into droplets and have a baffel system to trap them so they are not pulled through into the vacume source (intake manifold), and to properly cool enough to condense all possible a 1 qt design (or 2 1 pint smaller ones) is the minimum for a street driven car. On road track cars 1/2 gal seems to be the ticket.
Also, the OEM set-up draws filtered fresh air from the front of the TB, and it is adequate, but allows for oil mist to enter the intake via this connection through reversion pulses....and therefore a filtered oil fill cap eliminates this and if tuned with the breathered cap there are no metering issues.
Most mistake a PCV system for only releiving crankcase pressure, an important function, but it has an equally important function and that is to save your engine!!!
On track/drag applications a vacume pump is used to pull these out or a venturi style evac set-up into the header collectors works as well, but oil is changed every few races so the same issues a street car faces are avoided.
As far as the most functional design on the market, any with a mesh filter material will do a great job intially, until the material becomes saturated and then you will see droplets pulling off the mesh and getting into the intake. (Not a tone, but still some) thousands of mine are in use and have been tested side-by-side with most everyone on the market and have yet to find one as efficient. For a supporting vendor I would reccomend Mike Norris's using 2 in series.
