You should at least add Mobil 1 and Motorcraft FL-1A. Cmon.

To what? I put Shell Rotella HD-30 in the mower and Pennzoil Platinum in the 4Runner. Now I've just switched to all Napa filters and Pennzoil oil. Except in some small engines I use Shell Rotella or 10W-30 Synthetic Blend Kohler oil.

Purolator. If you buy a Mopar filter, it is usually made by Purolator too.

They may all demand a different QC standard.I read somewhere that Ford had the strictest QC standard of all oil filters.

Mopar and Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator. Although the Motorcraft has a better designed bypass valve, too.

No, Purolator (who makes Mopar filters) is not a better filter than anything in the NAPA filter line. Competitive, not better. Also, many people do not know this or care, but the ProSelect and Nascar filters are very good filters with metal end caps and good bypass valves. Espcially when you compare the prices of them to a Fram, Purolator, or a K&N/Mobil 1. But I still get the Gold because I trust them, but I would not fret getting a NAPA ProSelect or Nascar filter.
