Oil question

I'm going to be changing my oil this weekend. I was wondering what most of you run, 10W-30, 10W-40? I will be running synthentic (sp?) and it needs to be able to handle Florida heat and New Jersey cold.

Two good synthetic oil choices which work well in both extreme cold and extreme heat are German made Castrol Syntec 0w30 (which is almost a 0w40) or Mobil 1 0w40.
