Wix and NapaGold (by Wix) filters of the champions. No filter or pressure issues for me since 1970.
Pros: no pressure issues, long-term reliability
I have several VW/Audi cars and I use Mahle oil filters most of the time. I've heard some horror stories about other aftermarket filters causing some problems, particularly on the water cooled Vanagons (I have one). Mahle and Mann seem like the best option.
Pros: best option, avoids problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
Pros: full synthetic, performance filters

Mileage: 3000 km
Fram makes a decent filter for everone else but not for VWs. Something about the cold start bypass valve not working well, or something.
Cons: bypass valve issue, not for VWs
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Me too, so I went back to the stock size filter and the issue improved.
Cons: caused startup rattle
