A higher capacity filter is capable of filtering more contaminants before its internal pressure relief valve opens and oil bypasses the filtering media. So, yes, generally a longer filter is preferred to a shorter filter - all else being equal.

BTW, Wix 51515 is a good filter, equivalent to Motorcraft FL-1A IMO.
