In the splash lubrication system, a dipper or slinger splashes oil through the internal parts of the engine. Oil is also splashed up to the valve mechanism.

No oil filter

In force-feed lubrication, pressure forces oil around the engine. In a wet-sump system, oil is kept in the sump ready for the next use. In a dry sump system, oil falls to the bottom of the engine and a scavenge pump sends it to an oil tank.

They both work on these small motors, can't say better or not, but pump pressure makes more sense and I like the oil filtered.
