Default oil filters

What are the best oil filters? I use motorcraft FL1995 but i hear of people using Wix and K&N, Amsoil filters. Any thoughts?

I usually run FleetGuard or Donaldson's, but with working in a diesel shop, they are readily available at work, and the employee pricing makes them very cheap. I used to run K&N, the nut on the bottom is nice, but didn'y see anything better about them.

The AMSOIL Ea filter is a good filter. It filters finer than others and has more capacity, hence it can go longer. That being said there is nothing wrong with the other filters mentioned and they are cheaper. The amsoil filter is a good option if one is running 10-15k intervals and doesn't want to swap out filters mid stream.
Or, if price isn't an issue...
