Sorry, I read that as you saying they were the same quality as Baldwin without qualifying if Baldwin was a good filter or not

Kind of like answering Yes, the car is Blue when asked if you like the color blue

Not really. You asked if Hastings is a quality filter. I answered yes. Perhaps you've never heard of Baldwin; it's the company's heavy duty brand, and Hastings is its light duty/automotive brand; Baldwin is generally better known than Hastings. In any case, the whole thing is a bit moot, as I've since confirmed that Hastings purchases this particular PN from another company, a practice that is common in the industry. It's presumably built to Hasting's specs, but it is not manufactured by Hastings/Baldwin.
