panel filter. cone filters get masive heat soak if they aren't the proper enclosed ones.
that, and the fact you are flat out everywhere because of the noise doesn't help your mpg

Also it flat spots abit more on some engines, causing you to stamp it abit more

Drill some holes in your airbox and buy a panel filter, sounds nice and you get the performance.

panel filter with no holes is the best. although id be utterly amazed if you noticed any performance loss by using a cone filter. heat soak on cone filters on a std engine is a big internet myth
