Oiled mesh, even if well-maintained, is almost certainly less efficient that paper. One of the reasons an oil bath that makes is so efficient is that the air flow must make several severe changes in direction and the heavier dirt particles are unable to do so and end up in the oil basket. Then above that you've got the oiled vegetable fiber (typically from the kapok tree) to catch any remaining particles.
