I'm also positive that there are BOV's (Apexi, TiAL, TurboXS, TN, GReddy, etc.) that may perform better when comparing apples to apples, but it seems as though anyone who states any sort of opinion otherwise is open for your debate.
No offense, but lighten up...
For the record: I ran the HKS SSQV with my GReddy TT and loved it. As many have stated, at the boost levels that most of us are running it's more than enough. If you're running 16+ psi, then I'd personnally recommend a TiAL unit. But that's just my OPINION.

Damn... never thought I'd see the day when people start fighting over BOVs.
Like MIA said, putting more than one valve on is gonna take away from the sound, so using 2 different valves will be pointless. Even if you're doing one for "performance" and the other for "sound" you might as well get 2 of the same for the "sound" since it will now flow double of what it used to (which is more than enough for the amount of boost being pushed for ~90% of the boosted Z/G's here).
OT... MIA, how much can the Raptor flow? I got one on my Evo right now and I'll be pushing 28-30psi here in the near future (alky injection)... will the Raptor be able to flow enough? I'm a bit worried since it's only a 38mm valve. I'm thinking of stepping up to the TiAL but if I don't have to, I not gonna (I like the sound of the Raptor).

I just don't think you'll get what you are expecting to.
MIA I guess more of my point is how do you know what sound I am going for? Maybe I want a more quieter SSQV sound.

I am hiding one, one for under hood and one before the IC.

I would also say 18psi is to high for the SSQV, especiall when running two turbos on a 3.5L motor. I would say either two SSQV's, one HKS Racing Type II, Tial 50mm...not sure if they still make it, but Greddy Racing, etc.
