Question Which oil filter is better and why?

Just coming into the fold...So, which is best, to use the stock type canister filter or an adapter /filter combo like: LN ENgineering Oil Filter Adapter - 10601 with (eg.) Bosch Oil Filter's - 3332
...and of course...why?
Thanks!

Regarding the spin-on oil filter method and NAPA 1348, refer to Jake Raby's comments at 12:35 on this video:

Where did I see where they recommend NAPA 1042?

NAPA Gold 1348 is recommended when your car is equipped with the oil fed IMS Solution. LN engineering recommends NAPA Gold 1042 for standard spin-on oil adapters.
