If you are running short drain intervals, then filter choice really doesn't matter (<5K IMHO).

However if you are running extended drain intervals, then filter choice matters.

I was at 16k on my TDI oil when I did the last Used Oil Analysis; it looked great then, i assume it still looks good at 20k. However I am running a wix full flow (at least decent) + oil guard bypass filter so I'm fairly well filtered . . . .

What kind of drain intervals does your shop run on heavy trucks? Any bypass setups, or just full flow?
