Your question is very vague, and bov's are not selected based on HP, but boost rather.
For boost under 25 psi, I highly recommend a factory Evo IX bov, it's a recirc valve that drives great and holds a decent amount of boost. You can find them new around 120-150, or used under 100. Great valve (all metal too, Evo8 is plastic and sucks.)
Higher boost i'd say the Synchronic recirc valve. They have to be fine tuned to your setup, but they will help you out and answer all your questions, and those valves are rated for around 60 psi. They cost 250+ new.
Stay with a recirc if you want to keep driveability the best. A VTA bov is easier to plumb, but can stall coming to a stop and will cause a rich condition between shifts. I'm sure new tuning can alleviate this, but a MAF car is designed to meter ALL airflow, and bypassing it will always have some issues that come with it.
