Plenum Spacer Debate!

Hey guys! So I'm fixing to buy a plenum spacer, and I've seen everyone going with the normal MD 5/16", but my question is, is there a better one for the money?

There are 3 brands that I've seen reviews on, and those are MotorDyne, Powerlab, and another called Pure? I've heard of the first 2, but not the last one. My car will probably not touch a track for at least another 2 years, and I've heard the MD 1/2" is only logical if you're tracking your car, although I don't know that much so I don't know how true that is.

If I could get some feedback about different brands before I go and buy one, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Edit: Forgot to include that I drive an '04 6MT.

MotorDyne would be your best bet. I wouldn't even bother going with the others. There is not much difference between the 5/16 spacer and the 1/2. You will see a slight difference with the 5/16 spacer in the lower rpms than the 1/2. So that's why you might have the perception that the 1/2 is for track since you will be mostly in high RPMS.

Get the MotorDyne 5/16 Iso copper (copper is if you live in cold climates, thermal if you live in hot. but i would suggest getting copper since it keeps the intake cooler overall)

Thanks guys! I've been on the MotorDyne website and I was just expecting to get the regular 5/16 but then I started looking and saw the Isothermal and Copper, so I believe I'm going to go with the copper. Thanks so much for your input!
