It's up to you of course, but if you want the best protection currently available then fully synthetic is the way to go. There is stacks of information on this subject, do a search of 'Oilmans' postings.

Fully synth is the best protector BUT may start/make worse oil leaks because of its cleansing capabilities. Not funny if its the rear crankshaft seal (ask me how I know...).
