Both 20w60 and SAE90 are the same as far as bicycle chain lubing goes - whichever one can find cheaper, or more convenient.
I think good advice is to use whatever motor oil is on hand, whatever the viscosity, and a good inexpensive source is the residue remaining in the packaging container of whatever oil is used when changing motor oil for any motorized vehicle.
