Mobil 1 and Royal purple are good. Fram and wix are also good for the money. If you're going with a full synthetic oil, an oil filter designed for full synthetic is also a good idea.
I'm not a fan of the oils that claim full year protection (1 oil change per year). Depending on where you live, you might consider a summer weight oil, and a winter weight oil depending on your climate. If you tow a lot, that should be considered too when deciding on oil weight
Couple tips for getting into changing your own oil:
1. Don't overtighten the filter. Hand tight, then 1/2 turn with a filter wrench
2. When you take the old filter off, make sure the rubber gasket comes with it and doesn't stick to the engine block. Putting a new filter on with the old gasket still in place (essentially a double gasket now) is an expensive mistake
