Apples and oranges here. Filter queries do NOT contribute to score. But they are cached so if you have a frequent use-case for filtering, you'll get much faster performance. OTOH, if your filter queries are never repeated, filter queries aren't helpful.
So if correctness isn't defined by the fq clause being included in the relevance score, you're *usually* better off using filter queries...
