It boils down to this with the stillen vs injen/aem: Does the thought of hydrolocking scare you? If yes, get stillen as it sits higher. If no, still get the stillen because it just has a better location. The stillen gen3 isn't much more than the others and offers some peace of mind when it comes to driving on rainy days.

If the thought of having to take off the front bumper once a year or so to oil and clean the filters bothers you, get the injen/aem. For most people that's the biggest problem as a lot of people are either scared to work on their cars or don't have the time/want to do it. After you do it once, it should only take about 10 minutes to take the bumper off, it's not a big deal.

Some people just do not relish the idea of cutting into their car....period. If you read my post you would see I said Stillen probably fixed their original issue of a poorly mfg product on their first attempt. Since then they went back and improved on it with the G3 version. It was more a bit of history.

No one hear has reported a full on hydro locked engine that was toasted. A bit of water is going to get into either one and yes, more with Injen due to location.

Cleaning the filter should be done on every oil change and the bumper mounts can only take so much before it starts to show with misaligned lines. The Stillen filters can be accessed thru the top cover.

This is not a peeing match as you are making it out to be. If you read my post I said the OP was making a good decision with Stillen. So yeh, coming from an Injen owner I advocate Stillen as the better product......I gaveup (haha pun intended), you won...happy now.
