It doesn't really matter both are interchangeable. If there's no consumption then probably stick with vanilla Mobil 1 5w30

If all is well,I'd just stick with the same dino you've bee using.
Then you don't know if it has consumption or not. Try defy 5w30 or Maxlife 5w30 and see how it trends on consumption.
I would most definitely recommend the high mileage version.

Correct.
Any paper oem type filter is best. Don't change it too often, just set it and forget it for the recommended interval depending on your air.
Fram makes some pretty good paper filters but any filter that fits snug in the housing will it filter a performance filter. Oem is always a good choice. Consider rockauto.com if you're cheap.

If price wasn't an issue would it be a bad idea to change it every 8k even when its rated to 12k?

A cellulose based paper filter gains efficiency as it gets dirt in the pores. You should look at the service manual for change intervals not the box. Something closer to 30k for dusty environments or 60k for normal intervals are more realistic. 12k is ridiculously short.
If you want to get the cleanest air into your engine consider a KN filter minder for air filter restriction which will tell you exactly when you need to change the filter.
Fuel injected gasoline cars do not lose power or mpg with clogged air filters.
Most of the dirt that will get by an air filter gets by when it's new so it's wise to run them longer than shorter.

+1 Don't fix it if it isn't broken.
