Canton filters are some of the few replaceble element units that I can think of that have a synthetic media....but, they don't have the filter area of a pleated filter unit. I use K&N, Amsoil, Baldwin, GM and Wix on my various motors....Bosch premium are also decent from what I have seen.
True, but condensation turns to steam and comes out of the breathers as the engine comes to temp. If your storing your car long lengths of time, you should check for LARGE amounts of condensation by reading your dipstick. Water in the engine will ALWAYS be heavier than the oil, and goes to the bottom of the pan. If your dipstick is reading a little higher than normal, it's usually due to condensation for a vehicle sitting for long periods. I had a truck once, which is an 88' with 4 miles on it, make a full quart of water from condensation, but it sat for 11 years with no start up. I now start her up once a year, or so. This was in climate controlled storage by the way.
