Is there any advantage to going OEM or can I do what I usually do, get one from NAPA?

no not really. You can get it from anyone, as you will likely need to change it every year, depending on where you live.
Personally I got this one. LINK

No advantage really other than price. I bought mine at Canadian Tire in Vancouver for $18 vs $25 at the dealer.

I personally picked up a FRAM Fresh Breeze at Walmart. This is the same filter mentioned in "PBHAK002's" post.

I just replaced my 2009 cabin air filter with OEM brand (purolator) from Pep Boys for about $18. Guy at the store said the replacement fits many different cars, so there are usually a lot of OEM brands to choose from. No need to purchase "overpriced" Honda/Acura brand.

for the cabin air filter any brand will do. Just remember when you put the new filter, there are these two slots on the filter basket that you put the outermost portion of the filter paper into so you have 100% coverage. Otherwise its a simple 2 minute install.

Remember to yank the glove compartment parcel shelf outwards (its quite a tug).
