Haven't done one in a while, but in my serious trans building days, the best ones were the ones that you could not see the filter media in as you looked into the inlet hole. You just saw metal on the other side of the housing. The regular ones that had media showing seemed to end up getting "sucked up" and starving the pump real quick when running hard.

Also, a good tip is to install two O rings on the plastic inlet tube up into the case. Use the old one and the new one if necessary. Just gives a little insurance against sucking air.
