Read the responses. I have not installed a DRY filter in probably 15 years. Even on an inverted filter you can at least wet the media. Is it anal? Yea probably, but there is no downside, costs nothing, takes seconds, so why not. I do agree that in many cases the 'time-to-pressure' difference may be negligable, but again--why not?
On horizontal mounted filters(Mopar big blocks being one) I can easily fill the filter half full without spilling a drop during install.
