Stay away from Fram. Wix and Purolator are two solid easily-available choices. The super-premium Wix for your car is the 51806, which has a built-in standpipe to keep oil in the filter after engine shutdown so you get instant oil delivery on restart even after prolonged sitting. That one can be harder to find than the regular 51515, which is the same filter but without a standpipe built in. Drop the initial "5" from either of these if you're shopping at NAPA, where Wix filters are available as "NAPA Gold" filters.

The ultra-super-duper premium filter is a Fleetguard LF3487. Expensive and usually a hassle to find.

The replaceable-element oil filter was a fleet-only option. They're interesting, but that's about all they are.

Any drawbacks to using a filter with a standpipe if I am running the stock standpipe? Did an oil change and they only had the standpipe version, should I find a 51515 and replace it? Or does it matter at all.

No drawback; it's fine.
