I use the Wix, because the Wix comes with a gasket. And, Wix is a very, very good brand of filters.
Also, when I reinstall my pan bolts, I use my Milwaukee M12 1/4" ratchet, and just run them until the ratchet "maxes" out. That particular ratched seems to apply the *exact* amount of even torque to all of the pan bolts to keep them from leaking.
Mind you, this is simply an electric ratchet. There's no impact action at all. I think it's rated for 33 ftlbs? Something like that. And mine is well, well used, so mine is probably even less! Whatever it is, it seems to be perfect.
