I use a K&N* BUT BUT BUT BUT............I only drive a few thousand miles a year, and change the oil twice. If you drive every day, i personally do not like the filtering efficacy of the K&N - no matter what they claim, my testing in a lab environment using test dirt (yes, it exists, if you do not believe me go to a chemical supply catalog and look it up) showed that a K&N lets a lot more dirt through than an OEM filter. As the OEM's larger holes plug up in the first 1000 miles or so, its filtering advantage becomes even greater, while flow is not materially affected.

*in a modified airbox with the baffles Dremeled out, the resonator blocked, and a Spoon CAI duct. If I were bone stock, I would stick with the OEM - it is a quality piece.
