Blitz and the F-sport filters are reusable and a "dry" filter. K&N is reusable and is an "oiled" filter.
If you're looking for reusable, any of those options is fine. Otherwise, just stick with the OEM filter.
None of them work any better or worse than the others.

Not sure about others but there was a test done between OEM filter vs K&N filter (can't remember if it was for our car or just cars in general) and the K&N let in a lot more dust and stuff than the OEM and they concluded that it's made for "better air flow for more air intake" but let's in more crap

If you're just looking for re-useable, any dry flow filter should do. Try to stay away from ones that require oil (like K&N); it can damage sensors over time. I got the F Sport one from Sewell for peace of mind and re-useability.

Just my opinion, I don't believe in reusable dry filter. Visually, you may clean it to a certain extent but there should be some minute particles remain trapped inside. However if you can clean it completely, that means the filtration property of the material is not fine enough to trap very fine particles.
Just go with OEM paper filter and toss them away when they get clogged with dust. I always prefer filtration capability over enginge performance. Filter doesn't make significant or noticeable difference in performance anyway.
