Really? Can you post/provide an authoritative link confirming that information? Any NP or Wix XP ever posted here has used a metal coil spring dome bypass. 'Never' has there been a combo valve shown/posted on any synthetic NP/XP.
I'm beginning to wonder where or perhaps more notably from whom you are obtaining your information. It's clear your MO is promoting the Ultra, no problem. But this board is and has been about providing accurate information too. I have seen similar dubious bypass information posted about standard Wix/NG filters in youtube comments and the net and they can be sourced to one recognizable commenter there..... Be interested to see the source of the NP/XP combo valve assertion.
Below is link to a virgin NP cut open by Texan4Life and there are others with a search also NP/XP showing dome bypass.

As for the question, many good suggestions here already, any should get the job done. And as said here before, 'best' can be a relative term to many factors like, oci/fci, cost and ROI.
