This question being asked 55 billion times notwithstanding, most of the synthetics are about the same. Mobil 1, RP, Amsoil, Quaker State (yeah I said it). Close your eyes and point as long as it's the appropriate weight.

Things you'll hear:
"My father's cousin's roommate's son used [awesome synthetic oil] and his [minimum 600whp] [big block monster/super boosted import] ran 4s all day and then he tore his [minimum 150K mile] engine apart and it looked great!

"Hey jerk (me)! Not all oils are equel! Why don't you reserch!"
<Various links gleaned from all over the web with an overwhelming amount of technical data>

Most guys will let you bang their women before you question their oil decision...
