Default Fatboy Heavy Breather Air Filters

Hi Guys,
Can anyone advise me please on which of the following 2 Air Filters is better. They are both 90 degree type, similar looking and are as follows:
K & N 63-1125p and H.D. 29299-08A.
I am about to have the bike serviced in the next 2 weeks and have just about enough time to order either one and have it fitted at that time. I have also read online that the K & N one also makes the bike engine sound a bit different (better)Thanks.

I know the K&N is washable and it needs to be oiled...or at least the cleaning kit contains oil in it. The tech at the shop said the Harley one is also washable but he said it didn't need to be oiled. I prefer mine to be oiled to trap more dirt.

I have heavy breather and like it. Cleaning is not bad....20-30 Minutes dry time. Oiling is the way to go. Either one will be good
