Filtration is a good thing. Plumb it using good hardware and line to reduce restriction.

Another option to consider is a bypass filtration system. With a bypass filtration system you tap into the oil system and run the oil through a secondary filter, but with a much lower micron rating, (more effective filtration) and do a better job of cleaning the oil. You can't run these type filters as the primary filter because they are too restrictive and could cause starvation issues, but as a secondary filter they are excellent. (I have been meaning to put one on my Dodge 12V Cummins, but have other places for that $$ to go at the moment.)

Here's a pretty good explanation, but Amsoil is not the only company that offers them.

Something to consider, and I mean this in a constructive cautionary way. Previously you mentioned an oil cooler, and now a remote dual filter setup. Have you looked into pressure loss, if any, these two combined system might introduce to the oiling system? I don't know the answer, good or bad, just thinking out loud.
