Non-oiled filter suggestions?

Hey all, my whisper lid should be arriving today and I want to replace it with a new filter, but I do not want an oiled one such as the K&N. Any suggestions on what to get instead or is just the normal stock paper filter good enough? (ive read tons of threads concerning this and am just wondering if one company made a better product than another)

Thanks guys!

The AC Delco is good, so is the Fram. You can't go wrong with either of those filters. You'll make just as much horsepower with those as you will with a K&N.

I ran a K&N for maybe 100,000 miles (no fooling, LOL) and got just plain tired of cleaning the sucker. Went back to paper and can't tell any difference. But maybe my engine is too old and tired to tell the diff.

One thing I liked about an oiled filter is I've had the FRA all that time and -maybe- it helped keep some of the bug parts/crap out. It definitely used to catch a lot of stuff, LOL.
