On the other hand, DOT5 is a bit harder to blead than the DOT3/4 since the DOT5 has a greater tendency to entrap small air bubbles when agitated... Although bleading the brakes on the M37 can be a bit of a pain anyway...
The DOT5 will tend to collect water in low spots of the lines, the DOT3/4 will abosorb the moisture. In either case, you should flush the system every couple of years to remove the moisture that will accumulate. I don't think that you are generating enough heat in the system to justify the added expense of the DOT5...
My recomendation is for a good quality DOT3/4.
