To each their own.
But honestly, someone "swearing" by an oil filter really means nothing. I could swear by the myriad of Denso, Honda and Hengst oil filters I've used on my old cars over the years but all that really means is that I've never identified an oil filter related failure from any of them. Other than that an oil filter is pretty much a black box that I swap out every time I change the oil. It's even quite likely that I would have had the same overall experience had the cans (and for the Hengst the box) been empty.
