The only difference between 5w30 and 10w30 is during startup, with the 5w30 being the better option. They're both the same weight at operating temperature (30 weight), however when cold (startup) the 5w is thinner and thus will flow through the engine better, protecting the components faster than the 10w.

I use Mobil 1 5w20 and I think I qualify for living in a hot area. While its thinner than 5w30, it works fine (trust the engineers, if not Chryslers then Hondas.) This really isn't the proper thread for such a discussion though.
