The primary use of air filters is to prevent your inside unit coils from getting dirty. In order to do this most manufacturers recommend 1 sq ft of filter per tonnage of air handler. So 5 sq ft for a 5 ton for your basic filter. Anything above basic needs more sq ft.

Anything above and beyond that, is all for your own air quality needs.

Just remember that there are better methods of cleaning your indoor air then HVAC air filters.

That is subjective and depends on how you prioritize the properties.

Just remember that clean rooms at hospitals, pharma manufacturing, etc. anywhere that highly clean air is required, the best and most cost effective way is through pleated media filters.
