If the engine's been rebuilt I'd have no issue with using synthetic oil, but I'd be sure to add some ZDDP additive to it.

I wouldn't use synthetic on an engine that hasn't been rebuilt though, as you usually end up with more leaks than you can count. But, if the engine's fresh then I'd highly recommend it. I'm sure there will be others with differing opinions, but plain and simply synthetic oil will last longer and make the engine last longer as well.
