From a lubrication point of view almost any oil is more than adequate for normal use. SAE40 would provide a generous protective film with or without anti wear or EP additives, but GP40  sure to contain some of anyway.  
Noise, leaks, and gear change characteristic more the factors determining choice. 
If intending to tow a trailer over the Alps Ruairidh will advise.
