GTX has always been my "go to" oil, for no other reason than it is what my Dad used. All I used as well until I joined here.

As a mechanic who has torn down hundreds of engines, shouldn't you be qualified to tell us which one you prefer based upon your years of experience? All that experience should make you one of the most qualified people on the board to give advice, assuming you actually have the experience that you claim.
He probably only used Redline, Brad Penn, or Joe Gibbs in those!
Seriously, either PYB (due to lots of moly), or whatever can be found cheapest in a name brand.

I would say PYB.
I notice some say Chevron Supreme and I agree it's great, but it's hard to find on the east coast...Is the consensus still that it's the same as Havoline? I ask because Chevron lists Havoline as their 'premium' oil in the BITOG Q&A.

No, not anymore. Funny thing is that the Chevron Supreme add pack is top of the line while their 'premium' oil Havoline is mediocre.

My favorite go to conventional was Exxon Superflo 5w30 because it ran so smooth in any car I put it in but its been discontinued for a while now. That's how long it's been since I've used conventional oil.

If you say that because of the Moly, Havoline now contains a significant amount as well...

Shell or Supertech. Both are cheap and work well

I did own a shop good memory.. Although i consider myself an expert in rebuilding engines I am not an expert in something that changes specs. so often like engine oil.
And again im curious what everyone's favorite Dino is. So do you have a favorite dino? Also im touched that you remember so much about me.. Now here is the question of the day: Do you have any idea where i put my house keys?

This is about 5w-30 not 5w-20. Notice how the 5w-30 has significantly less moly but more calcium.

PYB 5w-30 on the DD (2010 Hyundai w/2.4L). Just because I been using it and have no particular reason to change, but now with 113k on the clock I have had recent thoughts to trying something else (still have a couple jugs left), maybe try HM oil, or just say nah and keep doing what I been doing. (no leaks, no need to add during 5k OCIs). Guess I'll think about it when I'm using the last jug of PYB.
^ just keep doing what you're doing.

Two things...
1. The Chevron Supreme UOA you site with your original link is a 5w20, not 5w30. This is why I posted the PQIA VOA of Havoline 5w20 as a fair comparison.
2. That second link you site from PQIA for Havoline 5W30 is 5 years old.

It's the Internet anything you say can and will be used against you in a thread! Your house keys are wherever you last sat them!

Both the Chevron Supreme 5W20 and 5W30 are blends.
They aren't dino ...dude.

Now you're diving into a whole different ball game as to which SN dinos are really just that: dinos and not blends. Off the top of my head Havoline in those grades are blends too. This is the subject of a new thread you should make ...dude

^ Yes, OP's context is very clear. Question is why were you trying to steer it off course with technicalities by opening up pandoras box.

That may be true, but they're still marketed and priced as conventionals, not as blends.

Trop Artic would be my top choice but it is a semi syn. I also fear with their recent new product line that their product will be detrimentally compromised to stay competitive.
Given the trend of many products recently lowering of the TBNs in QSGB
Havoline and I strongly suspect in Chevron Supreme given their last 10w-40 had TBN of 7.1 in an analysis by PQIA in 2016. I think a bunch of products are going to be reformulated with fewer additives to stay competitive and maintain a profit margin.
