Air Cleaners

Hi Gang,
I finally got around to finally getting inside the Oil Bath Air Cleaner on my '55. First time I'd ever seen inside of one and I had no idea they were so complex! Naturally the first question that came to mind was: Is all this worth it?
Seriously - What are the pros and cons of the oil bath v paper element filters? If the oil bath does a better job, naturally I'll stick with it. If the paper element is superior, then at least the paper is easily hidden in the oil bath case.
I'd love to hear the wisdom of the group on this.
Thanks in advance -
