Comment (by ddean):

 There are pros and cons to each way. This looks like the state of the
 discussion:

 ==== Filter instantiated object: ====
 Pros
  - more consistent with other BP and WP filters
  - allows plugin authors to modify the group object without subclassing or
 creating a replacement `BP_Groups_Group` class
 Cons
  - uses more system resources

 ==== Filter class name: ====
 Pros
  - uses fewer system resources
  - a better match for this case
 Cons
  - requires plugin authors to subclass or replace the `BP_Groups_Group`
 class in order to use the filter
  - breaks with convention for filters in BP and WP
