Default Oil filter?

I've been using the OEM filter but I wanted to know what you guys used and if you recommend anything else. I searched nasioc and found conflicting stories as usual. But they said these are recommended:

STANDARD REPLACEMENT FILTERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Subaru OEM 15208AA080
Purolator PureONE PL14612
Purolator Premium Plus L14612
K&N HP-1008
Mobil 1 M1-108


OVERSIZED FILTERS (same in all dimensions except taller)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Purolator PureONE PL14610

So what do you guys think? I've used K&N in the past w/o issues with other cars. And I use Mobil 1 oil.

Amsoil Ea filters

Best filter out there right now & can be used for more than 1 change. Still works better than a new K&N on the second oil change.

Used to be a big K&N oil filter fan.....not after I recieved the test's back from Blackstone though

I get the premium Pure-One, since I keep my synthetic in for about 5000 miles. Advanced Auto sells them, and they are much more convenient to buy than going to Mastro for the OEM.

I've also read that Pure One is the OEM filter, which is another reason I use it.
