You'll probably be fine with 10W-30. If you find that cold starting seems sluggish, you could try 5W-30. Any brand should be ok as long as you change it every 3k mi.
If you want increased performance, mileage and extended drain intervals, switch to a good (there are bad ones, even fakes out there) synthetic like Amsoil. There are several Amsoil distributors on the BB.
