Do people who have these warranties still lose sleep over which brand/type of oil to use? Or do people just any type that meets specs and covers the warranty?
Dude, your last car you kept two years - why are you worried about a 'lifetime' engine?
These are marketing tools for the oil company. Use whatever oil meets your spec and application, then decide if you want to buy the cheapest full price, stock up on sales/rebates, buy into a 'warrantee' oil, etc.
+1 with surfstar. Don't get too hung up on engine warranty, or types of engine oil used.
If you aren't running a stroked engine, and you have all the necessary engine scheduled servicing done religiously (e.g. timing belts, water pump, idler tensioner bearing, etc.) chances are, your engine will live to an easy ripeful age of at least 200~ 300k miles, or 20+years until you get sick and tired of it.

OT
How do you like your Juke?
Seems to get great reviews and everyone loves them for the handling and sportiness
I wouldn't worry. They all have enough disclaimers that one would have to be pretty meticulous in record keeping and maintenance to have a successful claim. Then again, someone so meticulous probably won't have engine problems in the first place.
