Still not sure which way to go...
Either way you will be fine.

Also wanna put an AEM bypass valve on it. Anyone know the diameter of HotShots intakes? Also, should I place the BPV before or after the engine bay on the intake? Not sure how close it can be to the filter and still be effective and/or if that is a factor in its operation...
I'm pretty sure the CAI from HS is 3".

As for where to place the valve, anywhere before the MAF is fine - the higher in the engine bay the better.

Yep. Think of your car as a 140+ hp shop vac!
