Which of these filters are better. The ACDelco Ultraguard, or the Premium Guard Extended Life?

The PG is $6.80 on CarID, but the Champ XL is likely a better deal from Rock Auto ($3.94 + shipping).
RA Shipping shows $8 for the AC Delco at least from my location.
Pronto below is the PG2500ex afaik .
I’ve gotten pretty keen on the Premium Guards (in fact another hit my doorstep today) but I view those two filters as pretty comparable. Although it looks like the AC Delco has a nitrile ADBV from your pic.
The PG efficiency is advertised at 99% at 25 microns. Do you know what the AC is?

Wait does that Pronto box really say "Particles LESS than 30 Microns"? I think it's supposed to say MORE than?
I think you’re right about the Premium Guard & the Pronto being the same filter. It shows the PO2500EX as the alternative part #. I only buy filters from RockAuto if I’m also ordering other parts from them. Otherwise you can get them with free shipping from Walmart+ or Amazon Prime, whichever you have.

I'm currently running a "Pronto" that's made by Premium Guard so they apparently have some at least sourced that way.
Premium Guard lists some, but not all, of their sub brands on the main PG site. They do not include house brands like Carquest or MicroGard though but they are easy enough to spot.
The ACDelco site states their filters are 98% at 25-30 um. I interpret that as being closer to 30 um than 25 um. https://www.gmparts.com/parts/filters/oil

Folks - this is actually an old subject - but see link to what AC Delco ADBV’s are made from - I have left them in the sun for months and they stay shiny and pliable - they always hold back the U-tube in my 5.3L’s …
Who makes the Providence oil? I don't have a Rural King in South Carolina, but wow they have good deals!

Warren Oil Co
Do you know if that's Warren Oil of Dunn NC, or Highline Warren formerly known as Warren Distribution? I've seen conflicting information with one google answer/choice looking very authoritative showing the former. Just curious. Either way, Providence looks to be quality oil with good certs and approvals. No RK within 50 mi. here.
To topic, price being similar or relatively close, personally 'I'd' lean toward the PGEL because of use of silicone adbv. Efficiency rating good too.
when I was shopping for oil filters last June 2023 the ADBV in the UPF filters was the same black color as the regular blue can ADBVs...
