Whatever it is make sure it is at least CI-4 or Cj-4 rated. Otherwise don't run it in a 6.0, it will shear it to tar.

Check your facts before posting WRONG information please. The filters you're recommending are total junk for the 6.0 application. Fram, and Motorcraft/International are the only filters I will run, in a 6.0.

Now with that said, I wouldn't use Fram in anything else if it was the only option, their spin on filters are junk. However, for this application, they're cartridge style filters. The wrong oil filters cause more damage to 6.0's than anything else. Poor running/starting, some even completely starve the engine of oil, because they don't sit in the oil filter housing correctly. If the oil filter comes with it's own cap, don't use it. You'll find the Fram and Motorcraft filters share the same P/N's on the base of the filter... they're the same thing, and the ONLY one I'd recommend.

Seems cheap enough, just make sure it's the right stuff, like rufushusky is suggesting... I would also highly recommend testing your batteries and your FICM, and maybe picking up a couple bottles of rev-x oil additive. It's amazing stuff.
