These showed up frequently on the Top 5 lists and were available just down the road. Gonna combine it with the Motul 5W30 I got from Amazon and run it maybe 5-6K vs my usual 3K. What do you think ? I have always used synthetic oil, just not this caliber of filter. Up until now Nissan OEM, K&N, Pure One and WIX are probably the highest quality I have used.
I really like the AC Delco non e cores too, especially PF52

Current stash includes Wix, Bosch Distance Plus, Purolator Pure One, Pronto, Napa Gold, and a cut open Fram orange can of death. I cut it open to be sure no matter how desperate I got, I could not use it.
We got a winner!!!!!
Heck, I'll even break down and use a free FRAM every now and then.
You have to remember that they are just disposable filters.
You can't put the filter on a pedestal.

I used to love getting the ones that were made by Wix, with the silicone ADBV. I remember stocking up on a bunch of them when they had them for less than $4 at Walmart. I actually don't mind e-cores. I've had zero issues with them and the ones I've cut open looked fine.

AS far as performance in the real world, that is on the road how would you know if one filter is better than another?

I looked all over for the silicone PF52 and found none in any of my auto parts stores when i heard they were around.

cleaner oil may translate directly into longer OCI, so a high efficiency 99% @ 20 microns filter should be better for the longer OCI, especially with the higher capacity if you don't have a clean engine that was neglected.
If you are doing factory OCI/FCI, you may not see much return on your investment with high end filters.
