Default What engine oil should i use?

Hi all,

i know this has been covered many times but i just wanted to get another opinion. my motor has just been fully rebuilt (10.4:1 comp, crow cam, balanced, blue printed, worked head) and after i'm finished running it in, what type/grade oil will be the best for it? i know nothing about oil so should i go this synthetic stuff? what brand and what grade?
