Others here on BITOG report the same thing with their oil choice as well, so I would say stick with what works well for you.
I would define "best" along the lines of what's important to me (whether it's UOA results, fuel economy, engine sound, whatever). Then I'd try a couple oils that I feel might meet my criteria for "best" and see how they performed. It might take some time, and I know I probably won't get scientific results, but still, I can do a lot to narrow the boundaries.
