HEPA Filter sources... Canada or NA?

Hey all! I'm trying to build a FH but it seems like the hardest part is sourcing the filter! I'm looking to go 24x24, and hoping to find a source local enough that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to ship it, and preferably within less than a month.
I've contacted Damnfilters. 5 week lead time.
Can anyone point to sources they've had success with?

Keep in mind alot of the cheaper ones on eBay are 99.97% not 99.99% HEPA, just something to look out for. I'm sure people use both but didn't seem worth saving a few bucks, also the thicker filters will require a bigger box to build.

Looks like both of the above are 99.97 and from what I've read that is acceptable for myco work.

Yeah you can use 99.97. Most, including myself, would recommend 99.99 if you have the option

I noticed that those were only 99.97 too, and they aren't even that cheap either. I'm looking for a filter too, I live in a big city and found some filter supply places. Sent out a few emails this evening as they were all closed, hopefully they will come through, it would be great to buy something locally. If you live in or near a bigger city do some googling, HVAC supply, filter supply, maybe even lab supply?
Can anyone chime in about the depth, 12in vs 6in? I would greatly prefer the 6 inch.
 Also any important differences between the aluminum and the mini pleats?

Also curious as to these answers! Seems like the aluminum would be sturdier aganst any damage, but I don't forsee subjecting it to any. I can imagine more depth means more chance to catch particles but if they're both 99.97...
As far as the suppliers, they all make custom builds, and are 6+ weeks lead time due to COVID demands.
