If you just avoid puddles and driving in high rpms, the rain isnt much of a problem. Just avoid puddles as the pod filter is in open space to suck up water. SRI's are going to heatsoak, especially in summer in hot days. If you arent confident or worried about hydrolocking, just go for the SRI but your engine is going to suffer during the summer lol. If your going to track with any intake, stick to the CAI.
