I have run nothing but the cheapest 10W30 money can buy, for nearly 20 years in everything from a 302-powered 1969 Z/28, to a 1992 GMC Typhoon, to Hondas, to Saabs, and everything in between. I have also SWORN by Wix filters.
Perhaps there are better oils, but in my (approximate) 1/2 million miles of driving, I have yet to experience anything remotely close to an engine-oil-related failure.
Its FAR more important to pay attention to the frequency of oil changes, than the quality of oil. I'm sure some are better than others, but its cheaper to change the crappiest oil every 1500 miles, than to let Mobil1 go 10,000 miles.
It gets you a chance to get under the car, inspect things, look for impending doom, etc.
