You won't notice any power differences between the three. The air filter isn't going to unleash an extra 50hp, not by any long stretch of the imagination.
But, my advice would be to get either the A'PEXi or HKS (either one) - don't get the K&N because it's an oiled filter and require maintenance and oiling for proper filtration. A'PEXi is cotton, HKS is foam.

Bcoz the factory is quite dirty, if i changed the new factory filter, also not that cheap, just want to get a after market filter with pay a bit more.

I'm more than happy with my Apexi filter on my 3.0R. At least with the Apexi or HKS filters, you can clean/reuse them when they get dirty and hence they have an extended life over the standard paper elements which are gradually going up in cost.
As Clarence has already mentioned, stay away from oiled filters like the K&N as they introduce the possibility of damaging your MAS/MAF.

i think it was in for about 18 months, dunno how many k's though?
i'll post a pic later today to show you the condition which seem to me to be pretty good. bear in mind that i've also never washed it because the 5 or so times i've checked it i didn't think it was required...
