Based on some tests I've seen, you should feel secure buying Pure One, Mobile 1, or Amsoil filters. The latter two are synthetic-fiber filters and cost about $10, while the Pure One (made by Purolator) is around $5, if I recall. I am currently using Pure One, which are available at Pep Boys, et al. Amsoil is nearly impossible to find, and Mobil 1 is available at Auto Zone.
I was using the Delco Ultraguard Gold, but they apparently have been discontinued, and at least are no longer available in this area. Saab filters are actually rebadged Delco Duraguard, or a least were several years ago when I research the filter issue. This makes economic sense since Saab is owned lock, stock, and barrel by GM, which is the parent company for AC Delco. If Saab filters are still made by Delco, it doesn't make sense paying a premium at your friendly Saab dealer, as Delco can be purchased for less from discounters like Walmart and/or Kmart.
I would stay away from Fram, as tests show the materials used are not particularly good quality. Although the filtration material seems adequate, the low-quality seals can cause oil to bypass the filter in a normal course of events.
