I’d just stick with Motul, typically you pay for what you get.

Get the Bosch Envision OE wiper blades. Just got them for my Nessie and they are great.
Smart hack: get 26” for the driver’s side and 19” for the passenger side. You get a slightly bigger wiper area with no issues.
Pros: great performance, bigger wiper area
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I bought the Michelin blades for my 2020 outback at Costco on a sale. They all fit and haven't had any issues.
Pros: fit well, no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Oil Filters, I always use OEM Subaru oil filters, I just buy the bulk 12 pack from my dealer.
Pros: use OEM Subaru

I'm a Michelin fan myself, but I've heard good things about Nokian. Judging by the tread pattern alone, that's a very agressive tire that'll likely work incredibly well on the WRX.
Pros: aggressive tire, works well
Vehicle:
Subaru
They are amazing. Nokian made the first ever winter tire, back in the 20s or 30s IIRC. I have them on all my Subarus and they make winter driving seem like summer for all “normal” driving applications, within reason (ie. driving like a normal person). For spirited driving yeah you’ll loose grip eventually but you’ll be surprised just how far these will go. Just remember how winter tires work. They accumulate snow on the treads and that grips way more than bare rubber. If you find yourself sliding on black ice and can aim for some snow, you’ll be surprised how much grip you can get back.. assuming you have the room for it. Anyway, they won’t make you completely invincible, but it’s about as good as you’re going to get!
Pros: amazing, winter driving like summer
Cons: lose grip eventually
Vehicle:
Subaru
I love my Hakkas. I’ve had them on my 2017 WRX as well as several other cars. Very grippy in even the worst conditions.
Pros: very grippy, worst conditions

I'm running EBC Yellows on my 15 WRX now, so similar in curb weight. Not great for a daily IMO. They squeal pretty bad and the dust build up is pretty significant. Have about 15K miles and 2 autocrosses on them and they perform great. Good bite when cold and even better if they get warmed up.
Pros: good bite, performs great
Cons: squeals, significant dust
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 15000 km
My brakes are starting to squeak so I contacted my local Subaru dealership to get quoted on my front brakes as the rear are still in good condition. They quoted me for $1200 to replace the brembo pads and rotors as they insisted that drilled rotors need to be replaced EVERY TIME you change the brake pads as they cannot be resurfaced.
Cons: expensive, cannot be resurfaced
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 33000 km
The Japanese car that's let me down has been Subaru. Two blown head gaskets resulted in the engine overheating and basically turning into scrap.
Cons: blown head gaskets, overheating
