I don't have a strong opinion about filters as I think they all work about the same and I've never noticed any negative about a filter that doesn't have an anti drain back valve. One thing of importance to me especially on 240 bricks is the ease of filter removal and installation. If it's hard to handle you will always be dripping oil all over the motor mount and down your arm partly because you need a filter wrench of either kind. This last change I used a motorcraft filter which is a slightly narrower diameter with nice finger grips. I twisted that on nice an tight without a tool and that makes it quick, easy and neat. that and synthetic oil every 5k miles (plus an extra 1/2 quart overfill) ... end of story.
