Hood scoop question

Long time I haven’t posted, been working on a new shell, and I wanted your opinion regarding hood scoop designs. Would a reverse cowl design be better than an intake scoop design in your opinion?

I’m making a custom hood scoop from a Subaru legacy GT and my friend is trying to convince me that the reverse cowl design would be more efficient/practical than the the other way around

Here’s the reverse cowl design link and pictures of my hood right now.

if you want to push air under the car and make your front end light (you don't) then a hood scoop is for you.

what is the practical purpose for a scoop in your application? are you turbocharged with a top mount intercooler?
