Today, on a different forum post, I see the ones I bought ( Mann-Filter HU 718/5 X ) aren't 'fleece' but are polyester elements, and quality filters! Are these the ones we should buy? Not a time to be asking, huh??? LOL

Yes, the
MANN HU 718/5 X is the so called "fleece" filter element. It is made with polyester and considered a "fleece-type" design vs. the paper-type element. I've got 4 of them sitting in my garage cabinet. If you look at the application text on the PelicanParts link, you'll see this filter is for synthetic oil & extended mileage change intervals. That dictates it to be a "fleece-type" filter element per M-B. I believe the "fleece-type" filter element was always recommended for SRT-6 engine. The NA engine originally had a recommendation to use the paper-type element. But in the newer M-B engines, using 229.5 oils & extended oil change intervals, the "fleece-type" element was recommended. Others can chime in if I'm off base.
