The main differences are:

Purolator: Metal endcaps, more filter media, can't remember how the bypass valve is made up

Fram: cardboard endcaps

They cost the same, or close enough where it doesn't really make a difference.

The generic orange canister Fram oil filters are considered to be of inferior quality due to outsourcing of their manufacturer. If you use these, change frequently, as they might deteriorate with prolonged service.

Also, I compared the fuel filters for a Mercedes - Fram vs the Mercedes brand. Fram was vastly inferior - it looked cheap by comparison. I would never use the Fram.
