I have been using the orange foam sock type filters, which are effective but look horrible.

After reading this thread I spent last weekend making up the tea strainer type which look terrific.

Now after reading Howard's post I am worried about dust and wear.
Has anyone had a long term experience with the tea strainers?

I'm not talking track cars that do an engine freshen after every couple of races, but long term road use.
I seem to be clocking up about 5000 miles per year on mostly bitumen.
