So whats a good replacement? What weight? brand?

Any of your choice, the fluid ones are expensive, but you get a very smooth Idle

You are right on the money! I had the same symptoms you describedand was pulling my hair. Took it to my mechanic and he found out that the stock Ford balancer was off by 4 degrees. The engine had less than 7,000 miles and I never would have thought of the balancer going out so early. After putting on an aftermarket balancer, all the symptoms dissappeared.
