I don't like the Vented Drip Edge, because the louvres are right on top of the gutter where the ice builds up.
Do you have a link to a "Vented Gutter Apron"? thats a new one to me.
There is vented fasia boards made by Crane Building Products.
Also, there id vents that go between the fascia and a sub-fascia that can still have gutters installed, if that is your biggest concern.
For me, personally, I like the Smart Vent, by DCIproducts Inc., and have been using it since 2001 with no problems.

The additional airflow created from the proper Intake Ventilation minimizes any snow melt on the roof surface.
Search this forum for photos I took right immediately after both 6" and 14" snow fals with houses that I installed the Smart Vent on.
But, I am a firm believer in the Shingle Vent II for the best results for Ridge Ventilation.
