Ok I know you can a Greddy one for around $100 bucks but I've seen these for $30-40 bucks ( i know the nismo one is not real) So is there a big difference in what they do? I mean how much diifernt can a oil reservoir be? It seems to me they would all do what their supposed to, it's not like I'm talking about a name brand turbo and a off brand one, that would be easy....anyone?

get the cheap one. theres nothing physically special about an oil catch can. unlike a turbo, manifold, etc. which requires good design, its just a metal container. come to think of it, you can probably make your own out of a 2 liter bottle if you wanted.
