Take a look at:

It caused me to stop using the Delco UPF series. Too low of flow numbers. Lot of other good filters to chose from. I use the Baldwin B31.

If you ask 60,000 people their opinion, you'll sure to get a few different one.

I use the Mobil-1, but can't really tell you why!

I use either the PF 46 or the Fram equivalent. Has performed well for me.

Delco UPF-44 for me......and, no, I have not noticed any reduction in oil pressure at the gauge, as has been implied by some posts here or the study referenced above.

Just take a look at the flow rates on the table. It's always a trade off between flow rate and filtration. IMO the UPF leans too far towards filtration.
