Anybody know which air filters are better (ie more cubic centimeters of paper per filter etc)? So far I've seen Micron and Sakura filters for sale. I can't seem to find this info on Google.

If a filter is pleated and reinforced backing (if any) is visibly reduced you can only compare with manufacturers air flow specs and engine air flow noise. If your driving conditions vary it's very difficult to compare long term results.
There aren't many manufacturers that make Delica air filters so I could only compare based on my own driving experiences.
Cheaper price was certainly important. Try buying through a big company or ulility, ie: say you're a Telus employee. Up to a 30% discount is often available without I.D at Lordco and Napa. Ask how much the employee discount is.
B&J parts in PoCo was the cheapest for me.
