I prefer large filter before pump like many Fo*d applications. Debris in the pump check valves can affect pump efficiency. Doesn't hurt to also have a last chance filter before carb in case old rubber lines or old pump sheds debris.

I never worried about cheapo glass filter breaking because it was mounted safely away from possible hard knocks. Some OEM applications have quality glass filters; which I would love to have. The problem I had w/ glass filter was the cheap plastic nipple which sprang a leak.
