For the most part they are all very easy to install, and do the same job. I suggest a dry filter over oiled, and as for brand, whichever one looks good for you. There really is no "best", as everyone has their own opinion of what best is.

Fleetguard BHAF #AH19037 and home-made everything else, then put at least $150 back in your pocket

Yes but... washing filters is a PITA. I figure the convenience of throwing it out is costing me somewhere around a dollar every thousand miles, and that was before I shielded it off from the engine bay. You probably lose that much money down into your seats in that time, and think nothing of sucking it out periodically with the vacuum.
