I'm not sure if I really want to dive into this ...but:

For my '03S I was interested in the filtration capability of the Mahle and Mobil 1 / Napa Gold and if i remember correctly the Mahle filters down to about 30 microns and the Mobil 1 will filter particles down to about 8 microns. For me that was the clincher. I will never wait 2 years or 15K miles between oil changes so I doubt the filter will ever clog up. I change every 5K or yearly which ever comes first.
I also got the magnetic drain plug and have been pleasantly suprised to see minimal debris on it.
