Executive Summary
Do not use Ryco oil filters - the bypass valve spring is too weak.
An FB25 oil filter appears to be the same as an EJ25 oil filter other than being longer with more filter media. I recommend using FB25 filters.
Mazda RX8 filters are sometimes held up as an option. I haven't tried one at this point, but if I get my hands on one I'll use it, cut it open and then add to this thread.
Likewise, no experience with the pink STI filters.
Chop Chop
There is lots of rumour and chat about oil filters. Cutting them open tells you a lot. This type of tool is good, because you don't contaminate the filter bits inside with shavings from your hacksaw or angle grinder (and you don't make a huge mess and don't end up in hospital from a mishap with a sharp slippery filter):-
To reduce mess pre-cutting, press the rubber (?) anti drain-back valve with a thin stick via one of the many small holes to drain out most of the oil on the dirty side of the filter media.
Oil filter parts
Left to right there is:-
(a) the threaded base-plate that mates up to the engine (underside shown here);
(b) anti drain-back valve;
(c) filter media canister;
(d) base spring (bottom of picture) that sits in the dome-end and presses the filter media canister up against the threaded base-plate; and
(e) steel body of filter.
