Until an unbiased, unsponsored, scientifically controlled series of tests are done and published there is one answer:
Any synthetic.
The only constant should be that you stick with the brand you choose.

Synthetic is just worlds above anything else out there. "high milage" oils generally are nothing more than a thicker oil to stop leakage, and mostly even then they are snake oil.
You don't have to worry about leaks and worn seals for a LONG time in a 4.6L if you use synthetic from the start and stop that wear. My car will never see anything but synthetic ever again, regardless of milage.

45k and on it's 2nd batch of RP 5W-20. I used Mobil-1 5W-20 before that. It hasn't seen anything else other than what the dealership used in the oil changes I had them perform prior to 20k.
I also don't know if it is wise but the RP website recommends waiting 12k between changes when using their product. I think they even guarantee the motor if a failure is proven as a result of their oil.

but there is nothing wrong with chaninging it our for clean oil every 3-5k.
