I used to use Castrol before full synthetics became widespread, and never had any issues. I used Royal Purple full synthetic in my 2006 Whipple supercharged Mustang, consistently and from the first oil change. It ran great up until I sold it a year ago. RP is expensive and the Bronco isn't seeing those same levels of demands.
I currently use Valvoline Advanced and EL, but they don't get much love. We have run Adv. in the beginning, then later EL in our last 2 Jeeps and never had an issue. I'm just now coming up on my second oil change in the Bronco, but I did Valvoline Advanced on my first. I do believe in trying to be as consistent as possible, seals and engine internals just seem to be happier with consistency, and that's just what I was taught growing up. I was also taught it's always better to do your own oil changes so you can ensure it's done right, too many nightmare stories otherwise... I do have a backup shop that I trust if I simply run out of time, but I won't take them anywhere random.
I also like to use WIX filters as that was always recommended by my racing buddies. If I have to take it my trusted shop for the change, I bring my own filter as I don't like their in-house.
Like it's been said, proper OCI (oil change interval) is probably the most important factor with these engines, aside from meeting Ford's spec.
