Depends how you drive the Car!My 15' Camaro SS/1LE originally came filled with Mobil 1 5W30 from the factory. I have been using Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 for the last 4 OC's. (12000 miles on the car)
Is there any advantage of using one brand over the other for an LS3 engine?
surprised your Camaro SS came from the factory with Mobil 1 as my 2015 SS (Sedan) with the same LS3 came factory with Dexos 1 Gen 1 which was a synthetic blend...I changed over to Mobil 1 5W-30 as it is my preference but that's what I used during my ownership...
I would imagine today that any quality motor oil would be fine with my preference being a Dexos 1 Gen3 full synthetic product like Mobil 1 EP in the same 5W-30...
Good luck with your choice

Probably not but at that mileage you could consider the M1 0w40 FS or M1 Supercar 0w40.Is there any advantage of using one brand over the other for an LS3 engine?

Just take Buster's Advice!I don't track the car at all & drive it pretty conservatively. Occasionally I will drop it down a gear or 2 and mash the gas into a curve to see how many lateral G's that I pulled. But I definitely don't beat on the car.

I looked at the owner's manual for 2015 Camaro and it just showed the Dexos recommendation (although M1 IS Dexos compliant) but GM vehicles that come or call for Mobil 1 usually (my C5 Corvette LS1 did as did my 2006 GTO LS2) have a Mobil 1 oil cap while the rest of us only get the Dexos cap...The Camaro forum that I'm on says that the LS3's came factory filled with Mobil 1 5W30 just like the C6 corvettes with the LS3's. I do NOT know this to be 100% true tho'.

The same thing that is probably making you question changing brands… it fulfills the overwhelming urge to change something that doesn’t require changing because it may be “better.”Pardon my ignorance, but what are the benefits of using M1 0W40 FS or M1 Supercar 0W40 vs GM's specifying 5W30 ?
No reason than just suggesting another option. The Supercar 0w40 is basically a 30/40 grade as it sites right on the border of the two grades with a HT/HS of 3.53. However being he doesn't track the car the 5w30 is perfectly fine as called for by the OEM.Pardon my ignorance, but what are the benefits of using M1 0W40 FS or M1 Supercar 0W40 vs GM's specifying 5W30 ?
