Using a new filter just for the flush has the advantage that there's no used oil in the mix. If you choose this option it would be wise to fill the filter with flushing oil before fitting it since the sump will be half full. The disadvantage is financial. You've paid for a filter which sees service for ten or fifteen minutes.
