Default Transmission Filters..any difference?

Just got my 95 disco lastnight. Planning on changing the transmission fluid and filter today. I noticed at they have 2 different filters at Advance Auto Parts
The Pro King:

and the Beck / Arnley Kit

The Beck Arnley is about $11.00 more...just curious if I need to stick to one particular type of filter?
Also...I want to flush the fluid..should I change the fluid and filter..drive it for a few miles and then change the fuild and filter again?

Either will be fine. Are you arawre that you will probably need to move the cross member and loosen the "Y" pipe to get the pan off?

Thats the problem that I ran into. Not to mention the trans cooler lines. Before you drop the pan makesure that you can do the other stuff first.
I just drained the fluid and replaced it with a good Dexron and then changed it again 10k later and replaced it with Valvoline High Mileage ATF.
I will have the filter changed but I am going to wait until I have the money to pay to have it done.

Frequent changes can be a better way to go without all the hassel. I would do 3 fluid changes about 3000 to 5000 miles apart and the overall benefit will far out weigh a filter change.
