Short answer: Whatever seems to work best for you. I'm on my second brand of synthetic: Mobile1 10w-40. I'm not picky on the brand of final-drive oil. From the service manual:

Grade API Service Classification: GL-5 Hypoid gear oil
Viscosity SAE90 (above 5°C), SAE80 (below 5°C)
Capacity 200 mL (6.76 US oz)
