Here are the properties for each oil:

I run 0-30GermanCastrol in every car I have owned (except a 5.0 with a built (H/C/carb-conversion) engine with trouble that I never diagnosed (compression even, etc.), which DRANK oil, I ran 15-40 Rotella T in that. Horrible.)

In my LS1, it cut consumption vs. 5-30 Mobil one from 1qt/2500mi to 3/4qt 4500mi.

0-30GC is thicker than any 5/30 out there that I am aware of other than the other true group IV's like AMsoil and Redline, which I am not familiar with their ratings as I have not used them.
