Blend is probably just fine if you change the oil frequently (e.g., at 3000 miles).
However, synthetic is better, especially if you want to keep the vehicle a very long time (such as more than 150,000 miles), or if the car gets heavy use (stop & go driving; short trips; dusty/sandy environment), or if you don't want to change it at 3000 miles.
Don't know if your year/model is susceptible to engine sludging. If it is, then less of a concern with synthetic. Suggest searching for other postings to determine if this concern pertains to your car.
I have a 2002 SE and use synthetic largely so that I feel comfortable delaying oil change to 5000 miles.
Good luck
