Would I be correct in my assumption that most quick lube shops use Fram-quality filters, and if so, are they poorer in comparison to OEM?

Keep in mind I have read a couple of articles reviewing oil filters, and they say Napa Gold is pretty good. It's the Fram ones that bug me a bit.
FYI, word on the street is that Toyota's filters aren't as good as they used to be since Nippon Denso split up. I don't know this for a fact simply because I haven't driven my MR2 in ages.

Napa Gold, K&N, Wix & Purolator filters are supposedly very good.
