Morris are you referring to the cannister style inline or the billet housing same as the thermostat housing?
Cantons claim that their filters do down to 8 microns and flow good for race applications obviously has been tested.
Wix race filters are 60 micron filtering which is fine for a race engine that sees limited miles before tear down, maybe they use a different media that doesnt flow as well as Canton when filtering finer particles.

I have since purchased a Peterson HP6 remote mount and a K&N HP-5001 filter and what a "BIG" filter, I cant fit it in any of the places I wanted to, so thats gone back to the shop. Now considering a Peterson HP4 with shorter Moroso 27 micron race filter of 4-9/32" height.

My system is dry sump and I have screen filters in the oil pan, I dont see the point in a filter on the scavenge return when it already has screen filters in the pan, but I might make a large screen filter that fits down on the first tank baffle to stop any debris going through tank and on to my oil pump, and in case of foreign object dropped through filler cap.

This subject has been well discussed on CC and I am still confused.....!!!
