Question Oil Ideal 4 My VQ

Ok guys, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2003 Track 350Z I pick up in spring of 07. I bought it with 42k in great condition. I let my local Nissan dealership do my first oil change, right after I got the car, to make sure things were all good and it's time for my second one.

I plan on switching to synthetic. I need to know what the best oil to use for my engine is. I change the oil every 3k or 3 months so I’m not worried about longevity, just something that is good performance wise and won't wear my engine.

I was deciding between these brands:

-royal purple
-mobile 1
-valvoline
-pennzoil
-amsoil
