Castrol 5W-50 is certainly better than any of the xW-50 non-synthetics.
However, were it my choice, I'd opt for the Mobil 1 and be willing to pay the $4 a year premium. Actually, I'd not use either, because AMSOIL is better---(obviously biased opinion, based on over 25 years use using and selling)
There is no need to use an xW-50 in a Saab. xW-30 synthetic, preferably PAO based, will give you all the protection you need, and probably better performance/fuel economy (pick one of two<g>).
