Basic orange FRAMs with cardboard (well, fiber) endcaps are garbage, yes. The XG6607 mentioned above is the filter that I run, and the Ultra Synthetic line is not remotely comparable to the orange cans of death thankfully. They are wire-backed synthetic media with silicone ADBVs. I actually use this filter in all of my applications that don't require a cartridge style filter.
Previous owner had a K&N (204-1) on it, which is an okay filter, but a plus for some people may be that it has the "nut" on the end of it to attach a socket onto. IMO, I can generally find the FRAMs around $9. Those K&Ns are usually nearly $15 and are a synthetic blend media, akin to something like a FRAM Tough Guard.
