I picked up an inline Bouncer Filter a few months ago to help with the problem. I think I like it. The downside is one more piece of equipment to clean/sanitize and you need to purge the air out of the filter. This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XYQNBQR
One thing i'd recommend is an in-line filter like one of these:

When you go to bottle it will catch all of the hops flakes that dissolve out of the pellet. It keeps your sediment levels low!
Also, you don't need to hop for that long...maybe 3-10 days. The aromatics leech out of the hops pretty quickly and if you leave them for too long, depending on the levels of alpha and beta acids, they may volatilize and escape through the airlock.
Everyone else is spot on...one ounce in 5 gal, or between 5 and 6 grams per gallon should do the trick.
If you're using a yeast that promotes apply estery flavors, something like Citra hops works great. For milder middle of the line flavors, Mosaic hops. Centennial is great for a strong, piney flavor. Or experiment with mixing them!
