oem long oil filter vs. oem short oil filter?

I was looking on the performance nissan site (mynismo.com) and noticed they have an oem long oil filter and a oem short oil filter? Whats the difference and is one better then the other? Thanks

get the OEM long filter. It is an older (and better) design with metal endcaps. The short oil filter looks like it is for a 2 stroke motorcycle engine.
