Which oil? 1302 1971

Hey everyone, I’ve been rebuilding an old Beetle that sat for about 15 years. It’s a 1971 1302 manual with only 30k miles
At first it wouldn’t start, so I had to clean and fix a few things (fuel pump, carburetor, etc.).

I’ve done a lot of research across forums, but I still can’t decide whether I should use 15W-40 or 20W-50 oil.

I’m only planning to drive it during the summer.
