Which one is better and why?
I really don't like the CRT b/c of the set screw and spring that could possible fall out. Will the stainless filter be a good option for me. I mainly trail ride. I always change my oil after 8-10 hours. I use AmsOil 10W40 Fully Synthetic.

Personally I don't wanna have to clean my oil filter. It's much easier to just throw it away and replace it. I buy the HiFlo filters for like $3 each. You can get alot of oil changes for what a stainless filter costs.

i have the fast and furious and i like it..the conveince factor that is..you dont have to remember to buy a filter for the "next" time..its already there and the set screw does suck..i have only changed my oil once and it wasnt really dirt then..but when i changed it and took the filter out and tried to remove the set screw it was so tight i couldnt get it out and it started to twist the fins..so i said screw it there is no way it was that dirty i cleaned it really well with parts cleaner and let it soak in some PC for about 30 mins..and it seems to be fine ..JMO

The scotts one is supposed to be one of the best but its also like 2x the price of the other ones.

dont use the re-usable filters, its much better to buy new filters each oil change. It might be more expensive but the re-usable filters arent as good as the stock ones
