Sometimes I do my own oil changes and I prefer to use Mobil-1. But at
quick-lube places like Jiffy Lube, they usually offer Penzoil Platinum
synthetic for only $12 more.
Is it ok to switch between brands of synthetic at oil changes or are
there solid reasons to stay with one brand of synthetic?

It is perfectly ok. You can even switch between synthetic and conventional
as long as they meet your vehicle's requirements.
