Why take it to a quick lube place if you can do it yourself?
The items that are included in the 35K service are probably things you could do yourself (if you are handy in that way).
As far as oil is concerned, I use Amsoil Synthetic, and I recently had my oil analyzed after running it in my '99 9-3 base for 10K miles (I now have almost 77K on the engine). The analysis showed no problems and the oil was good for continued serivce. In my case that means a once-a-year oil change. I will most likely continue to change the oil filter every 5K (with Amsoil Oil Filters).
So you should be covered for awhile with the synthetic oil. I HAVE heard some horror stories about quick lube places, but they are few and far between. Just watch what they do...and make sure they do it right.
Happy Saabing!
