what car is this going in to? If this is going into a WRX then there is no grinding issue that I'm aware of. Synthetic fluid is good because it has a higher boiling point than non-synthetic. The grinding issue that you might be referring to is for a manual transmission.
if you can afford the synthetic stuff go with it. If not purchase some cheap stuff to hold you over for a while. you WILL want to replace your front and rear diff fluid at the same time. please do a search I have previously posted information about this
