22680-6N201 = supposedly weak, but mine has lasted 47k miles with various K&N filters
22680-AM600 = supposedly good, but some people have blown theirs multiple times

I wouldn't let the MAF be a deciding factor. If and when it does blow, just get a 2001 MAF (its 90 bucks and has proven to work well so far) and transfer the IAT sensor from the 2002 MAF and it'll work just fine.

There is a write-up on how to do that in the Stickies.

The part number is in the Stickies, under the How-Tos: 2k1 MAF Upgrade for 2k2s.
