They might be ai bit more than you want to spend, but Fram makes an Ultra air filter that's only sold by Walmart.

I emailed Fram about the efficiency, and this is what they said. Note that Fram uses the fine dust in the ISO 5011 efficiency test. Some filter makers use the course dust to boost efficiency numbers.

Also, they said the new filter pressure drop was only 1.5 in-H2O at 250 CFM air flow for my particular filter model, which is ptetty free flowing.

Mann, Mahle, or Wix should be the best you can find for all of them.

They do. Ive seen them at a few Wal Marts in New York. Apparently they're made by champion
 
Supertech air filters are only a few bucks less than fram at walmart.

Don't realky know unless you can get ISO 5011 efficiency ratings. And you have to ensure you know if the ISO test was ran with the test specifief fine dust or coarse dust. Air filter efficiency testing is more convoluted than oil filter efficiency testing.
 
Ended up getting the fram ultra air filter from walmart.
For 3.50 more than the regular one.

The Ultra air filter is rated to last twice as long (has greater holding capacity) as the regular Fram filters, so it's actually cheaper if based on how long you can run it for the cost.
 
It was 16.97 vrS 12 50 looked like it would filter better.
Built well also with glue that holds pleats apart

Looks like they seal better with the rubber gasket. The Ultra has it unlike the new regular one. The old regular Fram used to have the rubber gasket but not any longer.
