Oil recommendation

I'm changing my oil this weekend and was wondering what the best kind of oil is and what filter I should get. I know that synthetic is better than natural but I havn't made up mymind as of which I want to get. What do you guys recommend.

I put in Royal Purple and love it! I swear it runs stronger and I get a bit better mpg. Go figure...
