Default Viscosity of Refrigerant oil for AC

My ac system had a slow leak, so I added some dye to find out where it was. Once I replace the o-rings that are leaking, I will need to add oil back with some refrigerant. I notice that there are 3 viscosities/types available for PAG oil. Which is correct for my 96 LX?

You can also use mineral oil. It will stay in the a/c compressor and not go through the sytem like peg oil. Its also better for the compressor if you don't use it alot.
