As for oil filters check out this little test of alot of the aftermarket brands, guy did a pretty thorough job on each filters specs, interesting article:

Also as stated earlier in this post alot of the synthetics are good these days and if you even look up Supertech oil (yea the walmart oil) you will see that its generally looked at as a pretty good oil and is made by Pennzoil-Quaker State.
I personally have been using it (10W30) in my 96 Impala SS for quite a few oil changes and have had nothing to complain about it, no oil pressure changes or anything, and pretty hard to beat that price, but i also realize that some cars act more sensitively to different oils but my LT1 seems to like it just fine
