1. Not to burst your bubble but there is no such thing as "overkill" when it comes to engine oil, especially when it's going into a forced induction engine, anyone who understands the extreme torture theses engines are under would realize this fact.

2. The point that you make about your car being stolen, wrecked badly, sent to a salvage yard and still starting is not a testiment to the quality of oil you choose to use, as a matter of fact, that story has absolutely NOTHING at all to do with representing the quality of the oil that was used, this only shows that there was enough metal and girth around the engine to protect it from serious harm.

As far as oil filters go, that too is a personal choice but I'd suggest sticking with the OEM filter.
