I hear good things from a lot of people about rotella t6, but I am trying it out in my taxi's right now, and I don't like it as much- engine feels a little more sluggish. No UOA tests done yet.
I have also tried Amsoil (good UOA reports)
and tried castrol syntec 5w50 (good UOA)

I have the Castrol Syntec 5/50 in right now, because I just had it on the track.

But for regular driving, even in the West Texas summer, I'm afraid it may be a little too heavy.
Nevertheless, the engine doesn't really feel sluggish.
