Default how about performance oil filter's K&N vs Royal Purple vs other options?

so for quite some time I have ran K&n oil filter's due to their better build than say fram or drive works and also being made in the USA, but this year I was given some royal purple filters to try out so I can't say much on their part yet but I just wanted to get an idea of what you guys or girls also prefer to run?

Puralator pure one filters are all I've ever used on any of my vehicles.

The best filter you can get for a 05-09 GT is the Amsoil EA011. Amsoil and RP are the very few that don't use paper as the filter media. Even thought the Amsoil filter costs $17 it is 98.7 % efficient at 20 microns and holds a **** ton more stuff than any other filter. Next best would be the royal purple 20-820. It does not hold as much as the Amsoil but it does have a synthetic filter media as well. The only paper filter I would use is the Motorcraft FL820S. The Motorcraft is 93% efficient at 20 microns. Either way the Amsoil filter has the thickest canister, best silicone anti drain back, and has a coil spring instead of the leaf spring. The Motorcraft FL820S is plenty good for a casual driver.
