I always recommend going with what came on the vehicle from the factory. That way you don't run into trouble such as with using FRAM oil filters. The FRAM filters turned out to be too restrictive for some makes and would cause valve lash adjuster/hydraulic lifter noise. WIX on the other hand makes a quality filter which I used for many years while working at a friends garage. I'd still prefer OEM but in this case either will be fine.

The AC Delco will be your best bet because they will have the correct check valve inside that many of the newer vehicles require.
