Use Castrol LMA, which is DOT 4 if you will be able to change the fluid every couple of years or so, which you should do anyways dur to hose and other part breakdown. ATE Super Blue is a good high temp racer's fluid, and it isn't quite as hygroscopic, but can be kind of pricey. The silicones have been known to cause problems with seals, and are also pricey.

I'm using Castrol LMA in all my vehicles, because it's cheap and easy to get, and works just fine. I like to flush all my lines every couple of years anyway, because they also need to be bled once in a while.
