Because you live in Miami stay with the 20w-50, switch to full synthetic, you will have use Castrol Syntec, that is the only full syn that I know of.
You could also use Mobil 1 15w-50. That is what I use in the summer.

Well the 15w-50 will pump easier when cold then the 20w-50, but you wont notice any differance.
Both will give the same amount of heat protection.
Whichever one is more easaly avalible in your area is the one that I would use.

Now about your driveshaft, you are not driving around with it removed are you?
