Oil filter recommendation

[Verde]

I am about to change the oil for the first time (since I've owned the car) on my LS7-powered GTR. I'm typically a K&N filter guy and so looked up a replacement in their on-line catalog. Surprisingly, I see three (3) different designs for the engine. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with any or all of these (including the permanent one) and/or has a recommendation for something that is considered the 'best filter' for the LS7. To wit:

I'm planning on using M1 5W-30 as well.
Thx,

The first two links are the same product. A re-usable filter you strip and clean.
The third is a throw away unit.

So not much to compare at the moment. I did find it amusing that both products have the same user reviews confirming that I never believe reviews in adverts like that.

80 BHP for a change of oil filter!

Not sure about LS7, but the 1017 is a fit for the LS3. However, I stuck with the std AC Delco part after finding out that the K&N's body is longer, which can cause issues in some installations. For me it would have done, it might just be worth checking clearances before you buy.

Corrected the URL. Thx.

I use standard AC Delco PF48 filter on my LS7 with M1 5W30 oil. Works for me...

Thanks everyone. FWIW after looking at some responses in an on-line oil forum (ain't the web amazin'?) and some LS forums, the Wix seemed to be the best of the lot, though K&N's generally faired well - notwithstanding the potential fitment issue. I'm sure the factory filter must be good as well but didn't feel like driving to my Chevy dealer.
