If your vehicle is fairly new and you're prone to wait too long
between changes, I would recommend going full synthetic. If it's well
worn in, you are probably best avoiding syn because it will clear out
built up deposits and potentially open a leak.

As far as regular oil goes, I've used just about every brand out there
and haven't noticed any significant differences, so I concur with
Peter that changes are more important than the brand. Oil filter
quality is probably more important than oil. Get a good one (on sale
if you can manage it).
