From what I have seen, some of the AC Delco Ecores have thicker media than their SuperTech counterparts (just my comparison of PF46E vs ST3506). Maybe some are identical except for the paint, who knows. I would expect all AC Delco ecores to be held to higher quality control standards than SuperTechs, but of course there is no way to know that for sure.

Some of the AC Delcos are still offered in non-Ecore designs, but they're not always easy to find.
Personally, if given the choice between SuperTech, Fram, and AC Delco (Ecore), I'd pick the AC Delco every time (but that is a choice I hope I'll never have to make).
