I can't claim a favorite, as I have never had a problem with any of these brands and have use them all. Price usually comes into play when new old stock shows up on Ebay at very low price. I then stock up.

Donaldson air filters are hard to beat, especially when you put another brand side by side and look at the construction. Cummins just adds a huge mark up to the price. NAPA filters are mostly made by WIX, also an excellent brand on their own. I go to a local trucking company to buy the fuel filters. They buy from NAPA but get a big discount and pass a good part of their discount to truckers so you get a NAPA gold filter for about a third less than the local NAPA store. Baldwin makes excellent filters. My FD only used Baldwin.

Beamalarm shows  Donaldson P14-8043 as the number for my ism450 but looking at the Donaldson web site that is not a good number. Does anyone know the right number or know where I can get?

This is my choice for air filters. Donaldson - DBA5029.  These are the blue filters, airflow from outside to inside.  Shop around, typical price is around $80 + shipping.
