Best oil?

Alright, theres alot of talk and opinions but what about facts? What is the best protecting, best lubricating, longest lasting, best HP promoting synthetic oil?

Mobil 1?

Castrol Syntec?

Penzoil Synthetic?

Quaker State?

Royal Purple?

Red Line?

And any others you have. Links to comparison tests would be awesome! Also, any personal experience. Thanks.
