Default standard or aftermarket air filter

Is it best to use the standard filter system, or an aftermarket one like K&N.

Mine has a K&N air filter and was wondering whether there are any benefits to using these or do they just suck in hot air under the bonnet leading to slight decrease in performance.

Or is it better to use a K&N and have it shielded from the heat and have a feed to it for cold air?

Standard box with a better filter element (although the OE stuff is quite good)
