No, it doesn't matter. Over that past 7 years (and 80,000 miles driven), I've had two Chrysler products, both purchased used.
Over that amount of time and miles, each one has only needed one repair shop visit.
I'm sorry, but 1975 was a really long time ago. Each and every manufacturer had their awful issues back then.
Back to the topic at hand, I've used Mopar filters in the past, bought at W*M. No concerns at all.
Now, I use the SuperTech filters since they're sourced from Wix, and priced at $2.84 each (even for the cartridge models).
How many hundreds of thousands of miles are you planning on driving any of these vehicles? In Michigan, when it comes to the longevity of a vehicle, I'd honestly be more worried about frame rot and rotten brake lines, before worrying if an OEM filter is doing a sufficient job.
