Question What brand oil and weight shall I use?

For an E420 (124) engine? I am not using synthetic oil and don't plan on it either. Just wanted to know which is a preferred brand for a rather warm area like Houston, Texas. Some of the brands been used with this car include Castrol and Mobil 20W-50. I need to stick to one solid brand and weight all year round… is that possible?

I would use somthing like either Castrol GTX or Duckhams Hypergrade, 15/40 I think.
