I am yet to see any data showing any of the filters don't pick up particulates. From what I have seen they all filter at nearly the same levels. Some have more pleats which would mean they would last longer before clogging. Some have better anti-drain back valves. I haven't seen any data showing one doesn't "filter" as good as another. I ran cheap fram filters on my yj for nearly 200k miles when the jeep was totaled. I have been very happy with my mopar filter on my JK, I did have one mopar filter that had start up knock. I have used one wix and one mobil 1 and both had start up knock so I went back to mopar.
