The problem is how much driveability you'd be willing to sacrafice. The HKS unit is proven to be one of the few VTA blow-off valves that doesn't significantly hurt idle or create as much super-rich conditions. The other one I would consider is the Greddy Type-RS. I use that on the GSX project car I'm working on and it sounds nice.
If Venting To Atmosphere didn't matter I would choose the TiAL blow-off valve hands down. It flows more than any other BOV I've seen which is a huge plus. It gives you the incredible woosh sound, and a nice little flutter at lower boost levels. I had it on my tC for about a year and I loved it. It created backfires/misfires a lot, resulting in some flames. It also made the idle pretty rough due to its design.
Hope that helps!

my HKS flutters like a bird, everyone loves it. sounds like compressor surge, but i've checked it time and time again and it isnt. I've gotten used to it. if BOV cost doesnt matter, try the synchronic BOV, no diaphram and lets the engine rev quicker from idle since you have the option to have two vac lines to open the bov when its at idle. would require that the MAF be mounted near the TB though. boost for thought

I just put a synchronic bov on my setup. I havent had the chance to take it out on the streets yet due to the weather but I'll post up how i like it asap. Keep in mind that this bov stays open in vac.....I wouldnt think that would be too good for people still using the MAF sensor.

I've heard the Turbonetics Bov w/recirculation.....you can barely hear it. Hated it when I heard it. HKS is bad ___ sounding. Usually though, when I drive by, you don't hear anything cause I'm driving normal. When I'm in boost though, it's Wastegate you hear, not BOV. If you hear my BOV, then your keeping up pretty good....lol.
