Which fuel filter would you buy?

Went to Murray's Auto Parts on-line. Found the following:

Fram Fuel Filter-$12.99
Wix Fuel Filter- $21.99
AC Delco- $80.99

Is the Delco really worth the increased cost??

I believe the AC Delco one you have listed is for the 99-mid 03's with the regulator inside, where as the others are most likely 97-98's.

I just purchased the AC Delco 97-98 for mine and it was $10 through Fred Beans.

For your car ('98) the AC delco is only $18.09 list price. Part # 10287788. The newer filter is the expensive one.
