Default purolator fuel filter?

I called Advance Auto and they said they had a purolator fuel filter for 6.95
or an AC Delco for 16.95. Is there any reason not to use the Purolator
filter?

Thanks for any advice.

I just put one on my car and it seems to be working fine, I checked fuel pressure after replacing and it was within specs.

Damn why are they charging so high? A K&N filter is $17 here but the AC Delco ones are like $8

I use purolator fuel filters on my thirdgen and my parents, no problems ever.

I use a/c delco on my 4th gen since its a slightly different design vs. what my thirdgen uses. If for some reason they dont have it in stock I would use a purolator one.

Holy crap, I paid $11.00 for my fuel filter at the local dealer. The regular price was $18 and change.
