i used to use the purolators with the grip coating but started finding that the grit from the coating was sometimes on the rubber gasket or loose in the box. don't want to take a chance with grit in other parts of the filter and getting into my oil so i'm moving away from them to play it safe.
i ran the standard suby blue OEM filters for the last year. put one through a track day in April and it did fine. cheap and easy to get, i think they're they easy button.
be sure whatever filter you get meets the subaru oil bypass pressure of 23psi. many non-OEM's do not meet this number as subarus run a higher bypass pressure than most cars. if you don't, it won't kill your car but it just means you'll be bypassing oil more often instead of filtering it.
