I'm a huge fan of regular. Change it early, change it often. Even though synthetic holds up longer, it still carries any dirt and metal shavings in it. If you're doing it frequently, regular's much cheaper.

I'm running standard now. In my previous ride, '99 Tahoe, I converted to synthetic around 90k and it ran strong up until the trade in for the JK at 177k. I think it was the right move to make and may make the change earlier in the life of my JK.

Synthetic without a doubt.
Changed my 94XJ over at about 5K miles. It's been running great with no leakes since 95.
Already switched the wifes 07JK over at 3k.
Next thing will be the front and rear diffs, most likely around 10K.

Since I usually change mine at 3K, I see no reason to splurge on synthetic. Remember, the main idea behind synthetic was it's longevity. If you change at 3K like I do, then you're just wasting money. If you opt for a longer interval, then it's probably a good idea.
