I’m still using the stock size. You’ll find out why you don’t want to go bigger if you change your own oil. It’s a bitch getting the filter on and off.

Why would people run larger filters though? Whats the purpose or benefit behind using a bigger one versus our OE filter? :/

To capture more particles in the oil. Or because those people are compensating for their undersized manhood.

Nissan Titan filters probably really bother the owners.

If I remember correctly, the Z and the Titan run the same filter.

Everything else being the same, larger filters work better - as mentioned above, they will hold more dirt before plugging up (and there will be slightly less pressure drop). But, if you are changing your oil/filter frequently, it shouldn't make any difference - you will be changing the filter before it get saturated with dirt. If you extend the time between changes, a larger filter might be of some benefit.
