Very subjective... you will have 1,000 different answers I'll bet with someone even saying a blend of them 
IMHO, Mobil 1 is my choice. 1) Easy to get; 2) Many manufactures (Porsche, Corvette, most highend vehicles) already use Mobil 1 in their cars and recommend it.
I'm sure they did more testing then anyone and determined that Mobil 1 provided the best coverage. If you look at the individual tests on the web it's confusing because every manafacture touts their own strengths, and not their weaknesses.
All I know is when using Mobil 1 on very cold days my oil pressure is right there at start up, unlike Dino oil.
Not to offend any of the die hard Amsoil or other users here, I believe all the Synthetic oils are probably just as good as the other in a passenger car, so it then becomes a matter of personal choice.
