Hi Jeff

The best kind of oil you can use is fresh oil.  The weight depends
on where in the world you live.  If it's consistently below freezing
all year, I wouldn't recommend 40 weight.  If it's always warm, don't
go with anything too light.

I use straight 30 weight in my Bug.  What's important is that you
change the oil often.  Your Bug (I'm assuming it's stock, no increased
oil capacity) has a small capacity for oil, and no filter, so you
will want to keep it clean.
