My vote is for DOT 5. It's kind of pricey,but a LOT cheaper than rebuilding your brake system in 2 years after the DOT 3 has absorbed moisture and rusted your brake cyl open....been there, done that. also, if ya spill some or spring a leak, it's harmless to paint. If ya buy it in quarts it's a little cheaper.
