Pentosin is great. Castrol LMA is OK. Stay away from Pep Toys, Quaker Place 
and other generic sh*t, unless you are looking to rust your brake sys inside 
and to flood it with a muddy substance that does look like sh*t literaly.

I am probably inviting an avalanche of angry replies, but I'd dear to say 
this (after a deep sigh):
ATF Super Blue sucks. 
I've put it in right before the Watkins Glen event and did not like the 
spongy results under the hard braking at all. 
One more thing: the stuff is INCREDIBLY agressive. It dissolved the Lexan 
reservoir, that i use in my pressure bleeder, in 5 minutes, it just exploded 
under pressure. The Tygon hoses turned milky in a few seconds. I was not 
that curious as to find out if it was going to eat through something in my 
car's braking sys.
I had flushed it out immediately after the Glen event.
