I highly recommend getting the k&n oil filter having a socket ready filter saves so much frustration
Pros: socket ready filter
Cons: frustration

I use Wix oil filters because they're cheaper than the Kawi ones, and I've used the wix brand for the better part of a decade and had no issues with it on any of my vehicles.
Pros: cheaper than Kawi
Cons: no issues
As far as filters: Mann. If it's isn't Mann I won't put it in my car.
Pros: Exclusive brand choice
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 164153 km
Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.
Pros: high-quality filter
NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.
Pros: Great results
Vehicle:

A vehicle engineer friend of mine recommended Motul X-Cess 8100 5w40 for my C43 (W205, M276) and a Mann HU 7025 Z filter.
Pros: recommended by engineer
Part number: HU 7025 Z
Honestly I just use whatever BMW certified oil I can find at a good price. Used Motul this time, had Castrol before that. Bosch oil filter.
Pros: good price
Vehicle:

AC Delco oil filters are now all made in China (but they won't confirm nor deny this), so they have a single package for all markets they serve.
Cons: made in China
I put a Fram in my volvo once... I immediately got valve train noise, it sounded like a diesel. I put a mobil1 back in it and boom it went away. Something about the valve in there volvos really don't like.
Cons: valve train noise
I always used Fram. Once my jeep lost oil pressure, I had to heel/toe to keep the rpm’s up (I happened to be close to my jeep shop) thinking I needed an oil pump. My mechanic asked me what kind of filter. He recommended putting a Mopar , K&N or WIX before doing the work. He told me to never use Fram again, they have (or had, this was 3 years ago) an issue with a back flow “flap” collapsing and restricting flow. I swapped filters, that fixed the problem and I will never use Fram again, even some new premium filter.
Cons: lost oil pressure
