Default Electronic Furnace Filters

I have a a HVAC Company, I would not suggest installing a Electronic
Air cleaner, besides the cost of the cleaner and installing then they
seem to break down alot, and a contractor can not fix them they have to
take them to a speclist to have them fix, but they do have lest air
restriction, I perfer for my customers to use 3m pleated filters they
are high destisy but they are good filters and they do have to be
change once a month, Or Use a good eletrostatic filters Newtron have
been around a while, Or if you really want a hosptital grade Abatement
tech. have some but cost can run 600-1200 depending on who installs it.

would like to hear more as I could be wrong (not being a air flow
expert and stuff).

When deciding between going with an electronic filter vs filter media
(assuming cost isn't an issue) which would be better. I've seen how
electronic filters are built and I would think that they provide less
restriction. However, I've been told the opposite - that filter media
provides less restriction than electronic filters... Is that true?
