Default Oil Question.....

I know that this question has been asked alot and that alot of people use mobil 1 15w 50 or silkolene pro s 10w 50. Anyway i went to my local car spares shop as i always do and in his records it says that the oil should be 5w 30 fully syn.
So what do you guys think i should get the 5w 30 as the records show or use what alot of the people use on these forums 15w 50, 10w 50 any help would be great.....
