I am no expert but TBH pick the easiest one to get delivered to your door! Both are excellent choices. If you cannot get any of these then Mobil 1 motorsport 15w50 will do.

As long as the oil change is carried out correctly, you warm up and warm down the engine pre and post full boost, check oil level regularly etc then you should be OK.

BTW IMO I'd lose the VTA dump valve if you have one, too much fuel can lead to borewash which can lead to oil contamination, petrol is a poor bearing lubricant.
