Most airstones do a fairly similar job so I wouldn't worry whether one does a better job or not. All airstones do is disturb the surface of your aquarium and therefore increase oxygen absorption.

It's common to put airsones at the bottom of your tank or even below the gravel as they aren't always the prettiest of things!!
