I personally use a 50/50 mix of Honda MTF and Pennzoil Synchromesh.

Honda MTF has never failed me. I use it in my S2000, I use it in my EM1, I used it in my D series civics, in my B series hatchboxes, I used it in my 158k mile DD GSR, my friends use it in their hondas...and they've ALL shifted like butter. Whether I road race the car, drag race the car, or DD the car on the highway, it works flawlessly. It's like $9 at the stealer. I get it for $0-$4 depending on who's working on the day of my visit.

I once used 10w-30 in an EF since it said in the manual that you could use it as a temp. replacement. It wasn't NEARLY as nice as the MTF. The MTF resists thickening in the winter, has a friction modifier for better synchro engagement, etc. It also just feels a LOT better than regular *** oil.

I dunno about all that synchromesh stuff...but I can't imagine it getting much better than just the plain old MTF.
