I'd stay away from K&N, unless you're driving a race car. Stick w/ traditional media...paper...Wix. NAPA filters were made by Wix at one time.
I purchased a Suzuki OE filter last time I was at the dealer (before the ones start arriving that glow in the dark
). They needed to order it in from the warehouse and my price was around $36-38 IIRC. They gave me a pretty hefty discount on it as I had bought the rubber floor mats and a bunch of oil filters all at the same time.

I put the WIX filter in my Kizashi. The filter fits all right. Replacing it is very easy, the air box is on top, and there are just two clamps.
I also used this opportunity to remove sand and dried twigs from the bottom of the air box with a hose of a vacuum cleaner.
The WIX 49008 filter that I got is made in South Korea. The original Suzuki 57L-F01 13780-57L00 filter is made in Japan.

$23.86 plus $9.32 shipping form an Internet retailer (drop shipped from the WIX). I haven't seen these local yet.
If you can get Suzuki filters below $40, definitely go with Suzuki filters.
