I cant help with what one you need but personally I'd stay away from Amazon and ebay for parts that need to be oem. Way too many people out there making cheap knockoffs and passing them off as the real thing.

Stick to OEM... In my experience with other vehicles, the aftermarket takes liberty on filter mesh size a bit too much... You don't want a mesh too fine (restrictive and may not be able to keep up with pump demand) and a mesh too large (can allow large particulates).

The transmission bench
So another issue I’m facing is finding the correct transmission filter. From what I understand I have the deep pan but the filter I pulled out is plastic on bottom and the new one is different shape and metal on the bottom. The one I took out looks like this one. Assuming this is the one I need?

The Amazon link you posted shows the correct filter for your application assuming you have a factory deep pan in a V8 engine application.

The filter you described sounds like the shallow pan filter but post a picture of it and we can confirm / deny

Here’s the pan.

I was actually looking for a picture of the filter that's plastic on one side and metal on the other per your description but regardless, buy the Amazon filter and you should be good.
This is the one I bought but it’s nothing like the one that I took out. The one I took out looks like the one in the link I gave you which is plastic on both sides and thicker.

As I suspected, you were describing a shallow-pan filter which was used from 1993-1997...All 1998+ 4L60Es in V8 engine truck/SUV applications took the deep pan and deep pan filter, like the one in the Amazon link.
