Not looking to start a war on what filter is BEST. I just would like to know what brand everyone uses for their own vehicles as I am now changing oil on my brand new corvette and a 22 diesel Tahoe. What brands do you guys like consistently?
What BRAND oil filter do you use?

Anything PGI made. Current example 
@Glenda W. beat me to it. Anything Premium Guard, or OEM for my Mazdas/Hyundais.

Currently, mostly CarQuest Premium filters from RockAuto clearance. I have some WIX stock I am working through as well.
Carquest Premium for my Ram, my local Carquest has AMAZING prices on Premium Blue.
However, I think I should settle for a Mopar filter on our Wrangler, at least within warranty period.

Just about anything. Right now Mobil1 in my wife's X3, Microgard in my 535d, Microgard Select in my son's Jeep, and whatever cheapo filter Mavis used when my daughter took her Edge to them last month for reasons I can't explain (I've always changed oil for her and never messed anything up).
The new Mobil 1 oil filters are also a great option if you like a one stop shop at Wally.
The MAVIS down the road from me uses CHAMP filters. I used MAVIS with my fleet vehicle (we were not allowed to change the oil on a company vehicle, which I wouldn't have anyway.) The oil they were directed to use was Valvoline Maxlife 5W-20. Regardless of mileage. So, my last 2 fleet vehicles got nothing but that and CHAMP filters since new. Never had an oil related issue with either vehicle. Though the engine blew on the Fusion at 70K. Failure not oil related though.
Champ/Luber-Finer. Sometimes SuperTech if I need one right now.

Make sure those filters are tight on cage. Many non OE or OEM filters don’t have good fit on cage on BMW’s and can throw VANOS or oil pressure code.
The Microgard and Mobil1 filters fit tight on the cage in our BMWs.
Hengst in everything.

Mahle, Mann & Hummel (European), Hengst interchangeably as OE or aftermarket, and Microguard Select where they are not applicable.

I like the CHAMP XL.
