Best bypass filter setup?

Between the FS2500, Amsoil dual bypass, Frantz, and centrifugal (Spinner II), which would you say is the best? I'm thinking the Spinner II.

and the UOA to prove it:

Those Amsoil spin-on filter elements are expensive. Filter change on my Gulf Coast costs about .90 (3 rolls). I think the results speak for themselves.

^That looks sweet. But $600?! I just checked up on it. Looks a lot like the Frantz design. Are the filters a rolled paper type?

I found it on eBay for like $325 or something, as I recall. Using plain old paper towels. You'll have more than that in Amsoil replacement filters after a few years. I like to think long term and prefer not to pay more $$ for more engine wear the scAmsoil way.
