This is something you should discuss with your machinist. A standard build with stock clearances a good 10-30 with EOS is all that's needed. Once you start getting into racing clearances a good 30W like Pennzoil is great. 40W oil is not good for break-in unless your motor and pump is clearanced for it. Most engine builders use one brand so when they inspect the filter the color, feel, smell and possible debris will be familiar. Stay away from any 10-40 oil as Steve said. I been blending different weight oils for different seasons or occasions for years
