I have a F-150 with the 5.0 and I use Wix XP for filter and Mobil 1 high performance 5w20. Purrs like a kitten even at 178k.

I use a Wix filter 57002.
Go with Wix if you care about air filtration. I haven't heard of any brand that beats Wix in that regard, for both intake or cabin filters.
For the fuel filter I used a WIX 33323 which has a convenient mounting bracket.
Royal Purple HMX 5w 20 10-48 RP oil filter and a Wix air filter.
I don't recommend Fram filters. I like Wix filters for budget and Quality.
For example, a Wix XP filters out 99% of material, at 35 microns, however the standard Wix filter can filter out 95% of material at 23 microns. That means the "cheap" Wix filter captures materials that are approximately 35% smaller than the "expensive" filter.
Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.
I was able to remove the inner part of the WIX filter element while replacing the filter for some inspection. It was solid black. I drained the fuel that was in the housing of the used filter into a container and it had black flakes in it.
The wix oil filters worked well for me. The fuel filters not so much, I had a fuel water separator failure and injector failures because the wix filter was slightly shorter than the Mopar filters that I've been using.
