Probably another reason I've always stuck with the Bel Ray for decades now. I know what to expect from each weight and its performance.
The 5W was good for Mrs. 2LZ Kingpin. She's lighter and rides less aggressively than I. The 5W gives her good dampening for her needs.
I use the 10W in my dualys and dirt bikes but ran 15W in my massive Vic TC. Between my weight and the bikes weight, it was the correct choice for those forks, loaded up for a camping trip.
I would imagine that it doesn't matter what you choose, sticking with one brand product gives you the consistency to know what to expect in product performance.
