Motorcraft vs. Fleetguard filter?

[jvencius]

What are the differences (besides cost) between the Motorcraft FL-1995 and the Fleetguard Stratapore LF-3794 oil filters? Geno's Garage has 'em (I haven't looked anywhere else just yet) @ $11.95 for the Motorcraft filter and $17.95 for the Fleetguard filter and I'm curious if the Fleetguard offers an advantage. FWIW, I change the oil every 3000 miles, install a new filter, and I've been happy running Delo 400.

I use motorcraft everything, including glowplugs, but thats just me!
