What, other than synthetic, seems to be the best viscosity for year round driving?

Look in your manual, think I only seen 5w-30 and 10w-30 listed, when I was looking at my neighbor's new Turbo PT.
From the 2003 service manual:
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity
of engine oil. Use only engine oils with multiple
viscosities such as 5W-30 or 10W-30. These are
specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates
the cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range.
Select an engine oil that is best suited to your particular
temperature range and variation (Fig. 2).
² SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred. SAE 5W-30
engine oils improve low temperature starting and
helps vehicle fuel economy.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for
gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY CONSERVING
is located on the label of an engine oil container.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted
as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to
use such a product, use only those oils that meet the
American Petroleum Institute (API) and SAE viscosity
standard. Follow the service schedule that
describes your driving type.
MATERIALS ADDED TO ENGINE OIL
The manufacturer does not recommend the addition
of any additive to the specified engine oil.
