I've used the Pro-Tecs in the past and had no issues.
Champ is hit or miss for me.

They're jobber filters, bottom tier, who knows. The pictured Champ actually looks more like a Fram. First Brands owns them both now so 'could be.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The FVP pictured is made by Wix, and they 'list' standard Wix 'label' beta data. So is that what you'll get? I doubt it. More likely it will be Protec. IF it is though that would be the best of the three imo. Again, I doubt you'll get that.
Protec, Wix jobber. Hit or miss.
Shot in dark, pick one.

Champ. Used them for eons at work, never, ever a issue. That’s enough for me

Purolator has too many quality issues, and the Pro-Tec cheap Wix line is starting to become Purolator after Mann took over.
Champ is likely to be better quality. You can't necessarily go by the stock images because they may have changed since the pics were taken

Imagine that, one bad experience and scarred for life
Under $3 on RA for a Honda A02 application?
I'll take a case of AC Delcos.

It uses a Nitrile valve and not a Silicone one. This caused the oil to drain back and the timing chains to make noise on start up in my motor.
Ford now calls for Ecoboost engines to only use silicone valve equipped filters as the Nitrile ones don't deal with the heat that these oils run at in turbo motors, and that causes the valve to fail.
So no, I'm not scarred for life, I'm just using the right filters.
Man, take a look at this situation from the 40,000 foot view. We have a product that is assembled from 3 or maybe 4 raw materials, engineered and assembled to tolerances of thousandths of an inch and packaged up. Then transported around the country from a manufacturer to a wholesaler and it sells retail for a $1.61. In this day of a 5 dollar cup of coffee,50k cars, 500k home prices,even if it's a close out and somebody's losing money,somedays we dont have much to gripe about.
I personally like Wix & Purolator personally.. But I managed a quick lube for a long time and we used Champ made Filters never an issue.. I used them on my truck at that time as well.. now I prefer, Motorcraft or Wix.. which I know is Mann & Hummel
Who knows , probably bidded out, may not be the same manufacturer in 6 months.
I'd use none of them.

I always see these filters called Mighty.
I believe it one time they were made by champion labs, the last I knew they were being made by Purolator. I don't know if that's still true to this date I've been out of the business for over 10 years..
Personally I don't use them and never have. I put a Wix/ Napa Gold, AC Delco, Mahl, Hengst or Mann on cars I service. Oil and filters are no place to penny pinch IMO especially if it is someone else's vehicle. JMHO
Champ.

Filters typically used in a quick lube service business.
I didn’t know that fits now calls for silicone instead of nitrile. We use filters with nitrile adbv in filters; I’ve cut hundreds open from eco boost fords. Haven’t saw any issues. Can’t say I’ve noticed noise or rattle upon start up. Thanks for the note bout ford calling for silicone adbv
