I am planning to change my transmission filter, and ROCK Auto has 3 choices.
What are your experience with each brand ?

The reason i am going aftermarket is toyota ones cost like 3 times the price, and it does not include the 2 cork gaskets i circle in the pics, as well as the pan gasket. The two cork gaskets are available seperately and that will be additional 15 bux. Also, Toyota uses FIPG for pan gasket, and I dont want to mess with that kind of gasket.I agree with mshu7. Not sure what Toyota you are servicing, but you don't do this very often. If it is in the budget, consider using a filter from Toyota.
When I serviced our GS350 at 80K, I sprung for the Lexus filter, which is more of a strainer than a filter.
Having said this, I believe the after market filters are fine. Wix maybe?
You have a point, but I think I cant order from Mcgeorge, as I am not from the US. Even if i did the cost will be crazy compared to Rock Auto. Rock Auto's DHL shipping to Malaysia beats all other US sellers. One option is ordering the Beck Arnley just for the pan gasket, then ordering OEM the filter and small cork gasket from RHD Japan. I hate FIPG.I tend to believe you get what you pay for - in general. Toyota vehicles cost more, as do their replacement parts. Again, the Toyota parts are part of why Toyota has the reputation they do.
Not only that but you’re dealing with the transmission. Who cares about saving $50 on something that’ll cost you a few thousand to replace/repair. Especially when the part itself is something that doesn’t get replaced often.
Speaking of Toyota parts, here’s what showed up today at my house from McGeorge Toyota.

But to each their own….
Regarding signatures, I don’t know about anyone else, but when I view the forums from a mobil device, signatures don’t show up. Maybe there’s a setting I don’t know about.

FYI Toyota (or any other car manufacturers) don't make a lot of their parts, but they buy them from other manufacturers. They don't actually make filters, spark plugs, sensors, shocks, brake pads...
In my experience when ordering "Beck Arnley" from Rockauto, they shipped the OE parts, even with the hologram on them.
BA are the main OE distributor for Asian made cars.
For example for my Toyota, Beck Arnley website has "OE" pads (Advics, Sumitomo or Sangsin), series 089, or their house "premium branded", series 085. If you look on Rockauto, they sell both series, 085 under "Economy" and the 089 series (OE pads) under "Daily Driver".
I bought WIX from Rock Auto, scraping the remnants of FIPG was pure hell.
