I doubt that changing to a paper air filter will give you any measureable increase in engine life over an oil bath, though it will save you the task of cleaning the oil bath filter. Oil bath filters are extremely efficient with retention abilities down to about 5 microns, same as most paper elements. The same cannot be said of the oiled mesh type filters, however.
