Oil type/change interval recommendations for OM617?

We have used Mobil 1 in our Toyotas for many years now, and I've seen people on here talk about using Rotella. I would only take the car on drives that last at least 30 minutes (no milk runs -- those are reserved for the gassers). Also, what oil type should I go with/what else should I look for in the oil? How often should I change it?

Sorry if I'm starting a fight here...
