the purolator and wix are good filters, with the purolator having a bit of favor.
the fram is the worst you can use, theres a thread in the external engine section as to why. i had been using them since i bought my car, but no more after this
do they make a long type purolator?

read the thread on fram and you will want to avoid it 
Another vote for purolator as well. 
K&N is the filter that my car uses. May be a little bit more than some other filters but its not like I buy one every week. Mobil One also makes a good filter to match thier oil.

I use the standard length K&N HP1007 (5.5 quarts). If you want to run the longer K&N HP2006, then make sure you run 6 quarts. I personally use Mobil 5w30 because I'm too lazy to look for the German Castrol, and quite frankly, I've used the Mobil for so long in both my LS1 cars, that I'm not really worried about it.
