Best quality "off the shelf" synthetic oil

I use to run Mobil1 V-Twin was available at basically all auto parts stores. Went into O-Reilly's one day to buy it since it was on sale and they have Lucas Synthetic for like $9 a quart. Switched to Lucas and been happy with it, seemed to quiet the motor down a bit more than Mobil1.
I'm happy with either one though.

Although I haven't changed my oil yet, I'm going to be going with Mobil 1 V-Twin 20w-50 (3.25 qts) and .75 qt of Lucas Synthetic Stabilizer with a Wix 5 micron motorcycle oil filter.
For what its worth, I'm thinking I'll run Spectro "specific" in the other 2 holes.
The bike currently only has 400 miles on it.

I've run Mobil V twin 3 or 4 times, but the only store that carried it around me started having limited quantities. Like 2-3 qts on hand. So it started to become easier to run SYN 3 since I was going to the dealer for the filter anyway. I'll go back to Mobil in a second if it really is better oil than the SYN 3. But, so far they seem to perform the same.
