What would you guys recommend for a 2010 A22 with 250 hours? I'm thinking a synthetic but whose and what weight do you guys like?

I use Amsoil but it's all just whatever you prefer, they are all pretty good products nowadays

Mobil or Shell make a synthetic. 5w-40

What was run in it before?

Not sure what it was ran in it. So 5w40 is the weight? Not 15w like the conventional oil Indmar recommends.

5-40 is just a lighter blend diesel oil that's been around for lighter duty engines, you can run either one and not have any issues

+1 for Rotella 15w40

your owners manual should call for Penzoil 15w40 but you cant find that stuff anywhere.

I have ran Rotella in all my inboards and never had an issue.

My dealer is using Valvoline SAE20W-50 in my 2012.

Use basic no-brand 15-40W. Mineral oil. Do not put posh synthetic in, you'll see no benefit and gain a noisier engine.

The key is to use basic oil, but change regularly. Every 50 hours if you feel the need. That is money much better spent that on fancy oil.
