Agreed...oil filter is a bad place to pinch the pennies.
The material and total surface area of the filter media are very important. As are the seals on either end, between filter and can.
Not to mention the anti-drain-back valve.
Oh, the pressure at which the relief valve opens.
These parameters are very important, and a Genuine filter is the way to be sure they are in order.
I am NOT saying that only the filters marked Subaru can live up to the standards...but it's an easy way to be sure.

I normally use the UFI filters from Opie Oils. They are larger than the tiny thing that Subaru supply. I usually get a couple when I order oil form them.
