Oil question

I have searched and this seems to be one of those questions that everyone has a different opinion on. I am looking to use Castrol Syntec on my next oil change. Mobil 1 has less then impressed me in the past and I know it is not the same oil as it used to be. Since it is somewhat thin I was wondering what Syntec to use to compensate. I was thinking 5w-30 for summer and maybe 0w-30 for winter (german castrol, which i use and love in my sentra).

Any thoughts on which one to use?

Thanks,
Mike
