OIL Detergent or non detergent

What is better to use Detergent or non? I changed the oil in my 55 today and don't beleive it has been changed for many years.
I went out and to my local farm imp. dealer and they gave me 10w30 and a new oil filter. I hesitated on if I should put it in or not. After seeing the old oil draining, I decided that just about anything would be better than this.
My thoughts was a non-detergent 20 weight.
Keep in mind this engine has never been touched and does not use or leak a drop. Runs so smooth and quiet, that I hate to do something that may cause harm to it.
Any thoughts?
