Like others have said, you are splitting hairs. My advice is that if you are not maximizing drains go with the less expensive product.
If you are utilizing by-pass filtration and using trend analysis, the initial price of the oil really doesn't matter that much.
BTW, I ran the Series 2000 0w30 in my F150 4.6L V-8 for 3 years and it's a great oil too.

Unless it gets colder than about neg 25 on a regular basis then S3k 5w30 is just fine.
I believe the HDD 5w30 flows just a bit better than the ASL, but not by much.
Of course, the 0w30 would flow slightly better. But if you're that worried I'd suggest investing in a block heater.

You are not going to notice much difference if any. The specs are very close. The ASl is a lot cheaper but the series 3000 may last a little longer.
