Engine Oil Weight Recommendation

First thing I did after getting my new Nomad was to study the manual. It seems Kawasaki recommends 10W40 oil. As I read through all the posts I see mention of 20W50, 5W40, etc, but does anyone use 10W40? Even Trip mentions 15W50 in FAQ. I live in Florida and drive mostly in hot weather. I am also looking to go synthetic.

What weight oil would you suggest?
Thanks
Joe
