I would rather not use any filters because it restricts air flow. Just use an air spray to clean your case once in a while.

a used bounce drier sheet does a great job with little cost!

Alluminum Mesh Filter is probably the best way you can go, Fabric Softener sheets are nice and easily replaceable, but there pretty restrictive compared to a mesh filter, and a foam filter is even more. I perfer mesh filter just have it easily mounted to be removed regularly and you can just run it through some water.
I eventully just went even without a mesh filter, and just kept an airtank near by and every some 6 months or so, id blow the hell out of it with high presured air.
