Default Valve covers w/ breathers vs w/o breathers

Looking for pros and cons of both, is one better then the other for the engine?

If your building alot of crank case pressure than breathers are a must. When I make nitrous passes it pushes my dipstick out of the tube because of the increased cylinder pressure. And i run two breathers,gonna put a header evac system on instead here soon to eliminate the problem.
