(P.S. Buckeye stargazer sells aftermarket inexpensive 3D printed masks that
drop over the filter, making a much more manageable 4 parts per filter )
That's why I have the 2" mounted filters.
No tiny screws, just screw the filter in the QHY filter wheel and done.

I went with the QHY268M as after reading many stories, their quality is better then ZWO.
Regarding the drivers issues some have mentioned? I didn't had any issues.
Which brand you get depends on what you get in the future.
Do you use/want an ASIAIR? You are stuck to ZWO.
