Amsoil is the best, but it lasts so long that I cant stand to leave it in more than 10k miles, and thats the only reason to pay that much for it. Amsoil SSO 0W-30 is there best oil and it's $12.99 a QT. IIRC ATM 10W-30 is a little less.

I noticed a big difference in noise at start-up when I switched from conventional (factory fill) dino oil to Mobil 1 10w-30 EP (i.e. alot less)
I plan to try Amsoil 10w-30 next time and see if I notice any further reduction...

Since I lost my source for wholesale M1 I just buy whatever synthetic that is cheapest. I have never noticed a difference in sound level with an oil change.
My last change used Valvoline SynPower Full Synthetic for $19 for five quarts at Wmart.

Amsoil 5w-40 AFL Euro is so quiet at idle over Castrol 10w-30 it sounds like a different engine under the bonnet. That's what the extra viscosity will do for you though. I like it. I'd choose Castrol 0w30 GC as my next favourite oil though, a proven performer and many good reports to make it a consistent reliable engine oil.
