So I need to replace the HD style air filter on my Stihl 064 (it's smashed) but in looking for a replacement, I've noticed there are [at least] 3 different designs and was interested to learn what the pros and cons of each are.
Nylon? screened w/felt cloth band - sometimes with foam inside? sometimes not?
Cotton gauze? paper?/mesh - do these need to be washed and oiled like a K&N filter? or dry?
Foam - if I understand correctly these do require regular wash and re-oiling

Interested in your information, experience, comments on anything about these and about pro and cons - thanks guys!
