What is the best engine oil for an older car?

My Audi A4 Avant has nearly 150,000 on the clock and is going strong. What engine oil would you recommend? Presumably a fully synthetic product meeting VW 504:00 is appropriate, but which make do you recommend? I do about 8000 miles a year, so what engine oil change interval would be best?
