Porsche cannister oil filter vs spin on filters (by adapter)

I've never changed the oil in my car. It's always been changed by others which is weird for me, I don't think I've ever paid someone to change my oil before this, ever.

I'm looking into changing the oil now. I know that they come with a cannister oil filter. I see that there are adapters to be able to use a spin on filter. I'd like to think that the adapter is for a really good sized filter with good options.

What are the pros/cons for the cannister style filter vs the spin-on? Why would you switch and/or why would you NOT switch?
