It's generally not regarded all that well. It's mostly coloring and marketing from what I understand. BTIOG's a good resource in general.

Any known brand of oil in the correct weight will be fine as long as you change it every 5000 - 7500 miles.
Some people say their engine runs more smoothly on some oils. It could be true, too many variables to know for sure, IMHO.
I personally like Amsoil and Ultra, but the Amsoil is more of a hassle to get, and more expensive.

Both the 10w30 and 5w30 will be 30 weight oil (the second number) at operating temperature, so switching to 10w30 will not offer you any additional benefit despite the ambient temperature being high where you are.
Have a look at the attached chart that I received from Lexus Canada. You can run 5w30, 5w20 or 0w20 in the 2007 RX. The 20 weight might actually help the engine run cooler, believe it or not. I've attached it as picture and a .pdf so you can download a copy of the .pdf is so desired.
