I use the Ford Performance CM-6731-FL7820 on my 2013 Boss 302 and 2008 Bullitt.

I run 5-50wt in the Boss and 5-20wt in the Bullitt

I use the Motorcraft FL-500S (what the dealer says is OEM...) with Mobil 1 5w50.

I use the Royal Purple 20-500. The Amsoil filter is the same. Both are made by Champion Laboratories.

Been using both the FL820 (FRPP) and the FL500S (OEM)

Someone educate me on the benefits of the FL820 over the FL500s

CM-6731-FL820 is massive & more filter material over the FL500. Both will work fine especially if you change oil and filter frequently might save money by just sticking with FL500. I think the CM-6731-FL820 also is a thicker body - I've had a close call before with swaybar saddle exploding and had the grease zerk almost puncture the oil filter but it held up.

There's a Motorcraft FL820S filter and a Ford Racing FL820 filter. There is a huge difference in cost between the two. Which one are we talking about here?

Here's some info from an old thread. Details on 820 vs 820s are in the last pages

All good info, but I just go with recommendations from a Ford Performance Racing School Instructor as well as a Ford Engineer, who each stated the 820 is both stronger with better filtration for racing than the others. That was good enough for me and there are sites to buy them at a reasonable price.
