I use the K&N filter.. what ever you do, do not use FRAM. Their filtering material is made of cardboard.

I use Amsoil synthetic but since it wasn't an option in your poll I chose Mobil 1. I generally either use the OEM Hyundai oil filter or Amsoil oil filter.

mobil 1. shell helix is going to be good oil, but no need to spend the moolah...you don't have a ferrari that requires it. K&N filter all the way. it's got a huge amount of filter material, plus it has a 1" nut on the tip of the filter so you can get it off if it's on tight.
