Which oil filters have the anti drain back for the 2.2?

I tried to do a search, but the new search forum just says;

"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: filter oil.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards."

I would think "oil" and "filter" in the title can't be that common.

OEM filters, BOSCH 3310, and I believe NAPA Gold do as well. Purolator One I'm pretty sure does as well.

The majority of the premium brands have this feature.

Some of the Walmart SUPERTECH filters (depending on car make) also have this, which is great for a $1.50 filter.
I actually run Supertech filters on my families cars.

I'd think that the anti drainback feature would be a moot point on a Subie.

Seeing as the oil filter is mounted upside down, and flat. By all rights, there could be no draining of the oil filter. It'd take some type of vacuum to get any oil out of it.

I was wondering if it mattered at all on a 2.2.
