There's a good thread on this BBS that had a healthy debate over synthetic vs. dino gear oil - well worth finding and reading. In my case, I decided to split the difference and went with a 75W-90 Valvoline synthetic blend (part dino/ part synthetic). For me, the fluid change made a huge improvement in shift quality - more so than the bushing replacement I did last year. So far I've driven a few hundred miles on and a track day since the fluid change and I'm still very satisfied with my choice.
