I personally run Amsoil filters.... I don't really feel like saving $4 on something that important is a smart idea....

I'm also toying with using Magnetic Drain Plugs as well:

I use K&N oil filters

AC Delcos are good quality mid grade filters. The high end ones (Bosch, Pureone, K&N) do have some nice features that the mid priced ones don't, like higher efficiency filter media and nitrile gaskets/anti drainback valves. But basically as long as you don't use Fram you're fine.

the funny thing is all the hype and discussions about oil filters..... and only about 40% of the oil is actually filtered. im not speaking of Lsx series motors. because im not sure on there oil passages. but i know that LT1/SBC put the oil filter INLINE with the cam oiling passages and it will not see a lot of oil flow. so your best defense is to change your oil regularly, more so then buying an over priced filter.
