Default CAI - which one to buy?

I know this is a topic that has been discussed in several different threads already, but I am getting ready to buy one and I want to solicit the opinions of the people that already have one. The four that I know of are XDI, AirRaid, BBK, and Volant. Any feedback would be helpful in making my decision.

I have compared two of my buddies 2009s when I was considering which CAI to get. One is running the XDI and one is running the Airaid. They both seem very similar. If there is any advantage i would say the airaid performed better and i like the "Stockish" look of it over the XDI. I went ahead and ordered the airaid. I will give a better review and pictures once i get it install this weekend.
