I'm going from experience with what I've used in my sport bikes, wakeboard boats and personal vehicles. I think that for an easier-to-find "synthetic" that isn't a PAO, would be Penn Platinum (over M1). It's all branding either way. I've ran it and loved it, therefor, I prefer it type of thing. My dad always used Penn Plat when he changed my oil. Growing slightly older, I experimented and stuck with a few. I used Excelium in my Mazda and still use Amsoil in my 996 bike.
Regardless, when my first oil change comes up in my 08 Si, I will be going with some Amsoil unless I can find some Shell Helix or Excelium for a decent price/availability.
