Im using Motual Tubolight but I think all decent oils will do the job properly in a mild street car. Everyone has different opinions on products but the most important thing is it (and the filter) gets changed regularly...

5W-30 is probably okay for a standard WRX. If lightly modified I would go up to a 5W-40 or 10W-40. For track work and heavy abuse would use a high quality 10W-40 or 15W-50.
