Both those viscosities are in the 30 range at operating temperature. The 5W- will pump up just a bit faster at start-up (maybe noticeable to you if you live where it gets to -30 F or so.
The primary reason for the manufacturer to recommend the light viscosity is that there is a very small fuel economy gain in the first couple of minutes (until the oil gets warmed up), and that helps their meeting the government requirements. Doubtful you'd notice any difference.
I'd stick with the 5W-30--I use AMSOIL 0W-30 in all my cars.
