The best! If your into old time fiddle music at least, they were the ultimate "punk rock" party music of the latter 1920's, however the leader Gid Tanner and guitarist/singer Riley Puckett had quite a few popular record sides earlier 1924 as Gid Tanner and Riley Puckett which is when that picture was taken of them in New York on their trip to record for Columbia. Riley Puckett, the guitarist also recorded his own sides on that trip in which he became a popular solo artist from 1924-1936, he was the first person to yodle on record which inspired a young Jimmy Rodgers, ironically most of Pucketts career after 1930 was actually recording Jimmy Rodger covers for Columbia records in response to Rodgers immensely popular records on RCA I just realized I'm getting long winded talking about the Skillet Lickers, in short they are great, my favorite band and some of my favorite musicians and singer came from them

Do you have an anemometer to check the flow? I know the filters are rated at 100 fpm but i wonder what they flow.

Yea specs are great but that's new. Only way to know how clogged they are is an anemometer. If you do ever plan to get one i recommend this one,

Cool ill grab one for sure, i did the bick lighter test on it and at around 3 to 4 inches from filter it almost blows my my lighter out so i hope thats a good sighn
But back to the original question if I have that in some kind of enclosure would that improve the performance and give me more sterile air to work in or would it not matter Im thinking as long as their was positive flow passing through whatever size of hood I made that everything from the opening to the filter would be 99.99% clean But as it is now i dont need more than a foot ore such, so i think its good ?

Prefilter all the way. If you want the expensive HEPA filter to last a lot longer then you can easily retrofit a prefilter to it. I bought some furnace filters off Amazon, cut them to my desired size and used gaffer tape to tape one to the intake. When the prefilter starts to become dirty then you swap it with a fresh one.

Like I said these have prefilters I just took off the prefilters to try and show how clean the inside was The filters i use are for allergens and dust 20X20
