Default Which transmission filter to use?

I've got a 1996 Chevy Blazer 4WD and I plan to drain + refill with Dexron VI after changing it's filter but Autozone has like 6 different filters that "Fit" my car. Any ideas?

The multi listings are for same filter just different manufacturers. You need a filter for shallow pan.

it would seem it has 16 bolts but the pan looks more deep rather than shallow let me get a picture of it.

Deep pan didn't come out until the middle of 97.

the transmission was rebuilt once could it be possible that they installed a deep pan? I mean it looks like a deep pan correct?

That is the deep pan. Not used in 1996.
