Guys, just bought a 2005 Mustang GT, what is the best oil to use, in your opinion? it has 63k miles, not sure what oil has been used previously, would full synthetic be a good choice?

Full Synthetic is the way to go. I like Castrol 5w20 but Mobil 1 and Valvoline are excellent as well.

I've been using Mobil 1 5W-20, and I can't remember if I used a Mobil 1 filter last time or not, I picked up a Motorcraft filter for my next oil change (which will be shortly).
