Best Oil Filter?

Is everyone just using oem/mann/wix/mahle? I couldn't find any data on what their efficiency was, (i.e., 99% at 20 microns or greater) - surprised it's not focused on very much, but I guess the options are slim anyway.

Use a better oil at shorter intervals. Then you don't have to worry about oil filter brands.
