Mahle vs. Mann

Mahle vs. Mann
Hi,
I've heard one should use a genuine Volvo oil filter or a Mann brand filter when changing the oil and filter on 240s. They say that Volvo or Mann filters allow for quicker oil pressure on start up because of a check valve inside the filter that keeps oil in the filter when the engine's shut down. I had an A/C filter on it and it always took a couple seconds to get oil pressure. With the last oil change I installed a Mahle filter. ( I got this filter by mistake, thought I was ordering a Mann) This filter seems to give me immediate pressure like I was told the Mann would. I like that.
My question is: Is the Mahle brand filter as good as the Mann or genuine Volvo filter? I like the immediate pressure performance. I want to order a case off the web and use them on my two Plymouth Voyagers (they take the same filter as the 240) as well. I want to order the best. Should I go Mahle or Mann?
Thanks,
Mark
