There are lots on the market, but if your still running the original MAF sensor in the car, the general opinion seems to be that K+N 57i induction kit is the one to go for. Good performance, and appears to have the least chance of damaging your engine.

The induction kits that provide an apparent performance boost tend to do so by fooling the airflow meter and leaning off the mixture, which makes the car a bit quicker, but can cause dangerous cylinder heating/det.
The standard MY00 induction tract isn't overly restrictive, and thus the best all-round option is simply bunging in a good panel filter like the STi, K&N or Green products.

It applies even moreso to the new age cars Jasoon, as it has the extended inlet that gathers cold, fresh air direct from the upper air intake. Thus, there's even less reason why you'd want to stick a cone on it. 
Edited to say, Jamie, pick any three of the four you mentioned and you should be fine. The only one I'd rule out is the ITG, on the grounds that its design makes it prone to losing the "gunk" it is laced with. This gunk has been known to settle on and contaminate the MAF sensor, making the other three safer options.

Featuring a design like no other filter ever produced, the Sonic power has a conical shield of polished stainless steel which surrounds the filter preventing engine heat from entering the intake system
325 quid for that? Could get the same effect with an old teapot and a saw!

You can remove the MAF sensor if you move over to a MAP based ECU like a GEMS, Link, MoTeC etc. Think John Banks has done a bit of research on simulating MAF values via an input from the MAP sensor, but barring something like that, on a Subaru ECU, the MAF sensor (and a properly reading one) is essential.
