Filters are all the same. Only minor difference. You gotta replace them in 3 months anyway. The quality of oil is more important than the quality of the filter.

As you said, problem happens when you rev your engine to a very high RPM, or the filter is clogged. Do you really rev your engine to the redline for the entire life of the car? Or do you think the filter can be clogged at all times?
ALSO do you think you can recommend some filters that you think may be the best ones? and what are the reasons that you would be picking those filters as your choice?

i've read a few extensive reports on oil filters. basically car lovers that built their own experiments for filter testing. They push a certain amount of oil through it then test for the # of unfiltered metal particles, oil flow and etc. can't remember the exact procedure, but the results were pretty obvious.
i think this may be the website. can't remember
http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html
i remember some guy on a forum did this then made a webpage about it..
i'm sure to some extend he may be biased (since his webpage is somewhat "mopar" related). But if you go to CT/autozone and pick up different filters, you will definitely notice a difference in the material used, packaging, and craftsmanship of each filter.
From my past experience, toyota OEM filters are about 50% more expensive than motomaster stuff, but the built quality is exceptional and just looks... like a better filter. Motormaster stuff is ok, wrapped cheap in plastic, but i've used it for years and it was fine.
the reason why I don't like FRAM, first is because I've read a quite a few complains about them. and after using it for a while I actually heard my car doing the same thing (valve ticking), on an intrepid 98. A lot of users have complained about the same thing and what's funny is that, the noise dies away after changing to a different filter. Now, this is all using Castrol GTX, so it's not a problem with the oil.
Oil filters, range from 5-10 bucks. I mean, seriously, just get a good filter. Good engine oil protects your engine, and a good filter keeps dirt away from your engine. Synthetic oil is so slippery it actually prevents your engine from properly breaking in (磨合). That's why a lot of people suggest not to use synthetics until 10000KM+.
I'm sure people drive their cars to different extends, and some people probably never take their engine above certain RPM. Truth is, I would never buy a car from someone that never rev their car beyond 3k rpm. That engine is probably full of carbon deposit. I wouldn't buy a car from someone that drives hard but never really do the proper maintenance.
Redline your car once in a while, launch it hard, (without killing yourself, your passenger, or others) is good for your engine. Blows the carbon deposit away.
When my trep crashed, insurance review for the engine was: excellent. For a 8 year car it had a better emission than most new cars, and when you open the oil cap you can see valves clean and shining.
