I'm not too concerned about engine wear because i'm usually in there every couple of years anyway. It takes no effort to but bearings in. I just use off the shelf Quaker State 10W30. The rearend get's 75-90 synthetic with a bottle of GM posi additive. The trannys also gets Quaker State ATF, but I change the fluid often enough to keep the grungies out.
