Default Genuine Merc vs. Sierra

I am replacing my fuel filetrs/water seperaters. I have the Sierra filters on now. Just would like some input on these filters. Good or bad? Should I use Sierra's or go with the genuine Mercury Quicksiver filters?

Buy a oil filter cutter tool and cut open the Merc OEM fuel filter and others. cut open a new and one used around 6 months old. It will surprise you. I beat you pick the WIX, Seirra or Mallory Marine. Also cut open the oil filters. I sell the oil filter cutter tool from Longarce racing. Also WIX makes Napa's Filters.
