Some are "showier" than others, both for looks and for sound. Also some are able to handle higher boost than others. The only number I know offhand is the HKS Super Sequential which is fine up to about 25 PSI. Of course it's always possible to run two, but for your car, that won't be necessary.
Many people choose them for sound, though. Personally, I LOVE my Blitz Dual Drive. sounds real airy, no BS.

Unless you'r running more than 25psi, most BOV are gonna work for you, Its really all about sound...

I would go with either the greddy type S
Or the HKS Super sequential (can hold over 25psi)

SSQV is in the low 200 dollar range afaik. So is the Tial. You probably don't need two blow-off valves. Doesn't your charge piping merge into one pipe before the throttle body?
