The trouble with store brands is that you don't know what you're buying nor
who made it with reliability. What may be made by a reputable mfr one week
can be some cheap import the next as has apparently happened with the
Supertech: http://www.ntpog.org/reviews/filters/filters.shtml. I'd suggest
you buy a filter with the makers name on it:

If I can't get the Honda filters made by Filtech, I use Purolator Pure One.
