What year? Just an observation, not science...the early Miatas seem to like dino oils in the transmission. My '92 felt better with a quality non-synthetic oil than with. My NB was the opposite. I believe it is necause of the metals. YMMV.
Redline mt-90 or GM syncromesh for tranny, but most GL-4 or 5 for diff will work. This is just from my experiences with a few miatas.

I really liked the Ford syn sychromesh in the NB 6 speed, fwiw.

Redline MTL turned my shifter to butter (that's a good thing).
Redline 75W-90 has kept my differential quiet and acting right for two seasons now.
In my experience, royal purple is overpriced. People buy it because it is locally available and marketed as premium stuff, and it isn't bad. But, Redline is available at carquest by special order. It's as good or better than royal purple and it is usually cheaper.
Ford Motorcraft transmission synthetic oil. You will love it.
its 92! my shifter is stiff specialy with the second gear and it tends to grind enev with my foot floored on the clutch (NO CARPET) and a few people told me that the SYNCHROMAX from royal purple is good in the NA
