About all either one is worth over the stock filter is "hey guys, look what I did"
Unless you have major modifications and the last thing on the list is a air filter, then go for it..
The stock paper filter is NOT a bottleneck on stock trucks...

It's not cheaper because you have to buy a recharge kit every time you clean it.

A K&N filter on a stock engine doesn't flow any more air than a stock filter. Yes, it is CAPABLE of flowing more air, but the stock filter is already capable of flowing more air than what the engine uses so it doesn't actually suck any more air through the filter.
They also do not keep out more impurities. In fact, the opposite is true. A K&N filter allows significantly more impurities through than a stock paper filter.

This is correct. The stock filter can provide enough air to the engine for at least 400 HP.
