Break in period oil change interval

Only ~500 miles into the breakin on my new car, but I was wondering if/when its suggested to change out the initial fill of oil. Ive read people saying 500 miles, when break in is over (1200 miles), or just keep it in until first normal interval (3750 miles)

Suggestions?

On top of that, should I just go right to whatever oil I intend on using from now on? Right now a toss up between Penzoil Ultra and Redline (Ultra is much easier to get)

Thanks in advance.
