so I'm about to go ahead and do a service on my discovery 2 td5 2001 which was bought last month with 84k on the clock. my question is what is the best brand 5w30 oil to use?
is using expensive oil really worth while?
and should i fit a genuine land rover filter kit that is more expensive or just simply order a 'premium' filter kit from paddockspares
i saw this one and thought it looked pretty decent?

DA6004P | Filter Kit - TD5 - Premium Brands

it contains:
1x LPX100590M Mahle Oil Filter
1x ESR4686C Coopers Fuel Filter
1x ESR4238M Mann Air Filter
1x ERR6299 Mahle Rotor Filter
1x CDU1001L Sump Washer

genuine LR filters = £70
'premium filters =£30

Those are decent makes and I'd be happy with them.

what about oil? any particular recommend make?

I've used all the brands over the years and even mixed them, never found any difference but then I haven't a clue on what is difference I should have found, as long as it meets the vehicles manufactures spec I would use it..

I use Bearmach ones for them all.
