What you want to look for is a good adjustable valve. Over a period of time the spring will wear down and you want to be able to adjust the spring rate. You also should look for a unit that you can replace the spring if needed.
The bosch unit to me is not worth the money because it has a diaphram that is know to break down very easily. If I had to pick between the two units I would have to get the forge unit.
I would also do a search and find some other brands that might fit your needs.
Almost forget the performance increase is marginal, but I look at this as more a maintance issue. If you buy a cheap valve you will have to replace it in a year or two.
