I just had the head reworked on my TO-30--new valves, stems, guides, seats, machining--the works. What oil should I be using for year around use?

Either 10w30 or 15w40 diesel oil. Your choice of brands.
 
I use shell rotella 15w40 oil, it is formulated for diesel engines, it still has zinc as
part of the additive package.

My old tractor is worn some, but holds good oil pressure with this oil. I use Wix brand
oil filters.

I also use this oil in my Dodge diesel truck.

Most auto oils have had the zinc removed, epa regulations.
 
Oil I used form the first 30m minutes was straight 30W. After 30 min, drained and refilled with Delo 15/40
Diesel grade. Not knowing how much gunk got into your engine and is swimming around is your call to do an oil
change after 30 minutes. I did it due to breaking in the cam.
