I like the Bosch the best. Pressure is up an additional 10 to 20 PSI and the oil flat out looks cleaner.

Trularin,
I think your logic in choosing Bosch is flawed. If you're seeing an increase in pressure of 10-20 psi, it's because the Bosch is restricting flow (assuming you're measuring oil pressure before the oil filter which is where it's measured on my FE). You could completely plug up an oil filter and your pressure gauge would look great but it wouldn't be good for your motor. I think you want to use a filter that has the least affect on oil pressure.
