Oil recommendations

I have a 85 Carerra have used Castrol GTX 20/50 oil. I just switched to Castrol Syntex 20/50. No issues, but would like to see if anyone has a better recommendation. I was going to switch to Mobil 1 but can't seem to find it in 20/50. Is a lower grade acceptable? 10/30 or 10/40? I live in So Cal, so te weather is suaully on the warm side.

Thanks!

Overall the Pelican community has very few strong opinions on most subjects.
