Go with the AMS between those. Difference in price=name. They're all quality pieces and such (but support a vendor here and go with a proven FMIC like the AMS).

Look at the efficiency(sp). A good one that won't heatsoak is above 80%

Also depending on the thickness too.

But like said, you are paying for the name and quality behind them

You could just go to each specific companies site and find out for yourself. I'm sure most people don't have the proper equipment to test core temps and pressure drops. If go with ams. Hks and second charge a premium cause r&d is really expensive in Japan.
