Personally I always run Castrol and it's done me well, even in older cars that had been a bit battered.

Pros: done me well

The road spec oils are excellent for daily driving and trackdays. Smoother engine, better engine efficiency, no oil consumption.

Pros: smoother engine, better efficiency

Cons: no oil consumption

ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.

Pros: gets smooth like butter

Cons: a lot thick

Castrol Power 1 isn't a bad oil, but I'd say not the best either. I have only used LiquiMoly as an alternative, so far and I rate is better than the Castrol but it did cost almost 2x as much too.

Pros: alternative to Castrol

Cons: Castrol not the best

Castrol. I've just always used it. A bit of advice though, i'd recommend staying away from Pennzoil, I had to clean an engine out after using it. Nasty, waxy stuff.

Cons: nasty, waxy stuff
