All things being equal (which they seldom are), you will probably never notice any mileage difference between a 5W-30 and a 10W-30. And, unless you have some other problem, a good xW-30 synthetic will give you all the protection you need against wear.
Again all things being equal, an xW-30 gives less internal resistance than does an xW-40 or xW-50. Therefore, at least in theory, you will get better fuel economy from the oil with lesser viscosity.
I use 0W-30 AMSOIL synthetic in all my cars. This is partly because I know that this particular oil is designed for best protection and fuel economy.
