It's completely up to you really. I use semi-synthetic as part of the Hein Gericke £25 deal. It's common thinking that fully synthetic isn't really necessary on a road use SV.

My dad (mechanic) sticks in semi-synthetic into my bike. I can ask what he uses if you like?

You can write loads on this topic and many will - but basically you cant go wrong with a decent quality (Castrol GP) 10-40W semi-synthetic.
