The handbook does indeed say 15w 50 fully synthetic and I believe that this works in a wide range of circumstances this is what Ducati recommend and their partner Shell have available. However 15w 50 will rob power and on start up will flow much slower than 10w 40 - a more viscous oil is not a better oil and in fact it can be quite the opposite.
After much research into oil viscoicity I run fully synthetic Mobil one 10w 40 and change it once a year and or 3000 miles in my 1100ds motor. As for oil filters I fit OE Ducati because they are as good as anything? I have only covered 25k on this engine so to prove my methods it’s going to be a long wait!
If you are worried stick to the Handbook.
