Transmission filter opinions wanted

I'm going to be servicing my tranny (5r55e) in about 4000 miles, and was wondering what my filter options were. I was thinking Motorcraft, but want to use whats best.

Motorcraft all the way. It's not a item worth trying to save a few bucks on.

Is this the stock filter in the pan, because I have heard that it doesnt filter that well so I added an oil type filter to the transmission. It is a motorcraft though.
