I have used, NAPA Gold, Wix, Purolator, AC, Mobil1, K&N.
The challenge is you won't be able to tell a good one from a better one for thousands of miles....
It is a balance between filterability, and flow..... take your pick of any of the available name brands.... ( like others, I avoid Fram)

K&N for me.

I've tried K&N, Mobil, Napa gold, Delco UPF but I prefer Baldwin. High quality, good flow and filtration. Reasonable price and available in my area.
