Default Green or STI

Whats the best filter to go for out of the above.
Green priced at 37 and STI 50 quid. On price alone it has to be green but anything else to consider for an MY03 STI PPP.

I assume you mean the green foam one? Had a similar conversation today with Dave at API who says the green is better, does the same job but will last longer as you can wash it, will last 3-4 years whereas the STI one can't be washed and therefore only lasts about 1 year. Hope that helps

I was refering to the green panel filter as sold on Scoobyworld's web site, not sure what its made of.
Described as a direct replacement panel filter.

Had an STi filter and I was happy enough with it, although it is a throwaway and not really reusable. Recently swapped it for a Green/TSL Group N panel filter and I'm VERY happy with it. I'd get Green again. And in fact I had Green on my old car as well.

Green seems to be the way to go.
Any idea what a foam type is?
