Break in oil- first 20 minutes- Brad Penn or standard non detergent

Hello,

Yet another engine break in question. In short, do I save my case of Brad Penn break in oil for the 20 minute initial start up or use it for the first 1K?

I hope to start my engine up this weekend or early next week. I reused the P&C and had them re-ringed, reground cam and rockers, so for the first 20 minutes, should I use some FLAPS non-detergent 30W oil and save the BP break in oil for the next 1,000 miles or should I use it for the first 20 minutes and then get a decent 30W oil? What is a decent non-detergent 30W oil that you can buy locally?

Any advice on this tiresome question would be appreciated.
