Are you looking to flush it yourself? I know most oil/lube shops have a pumping system to fill/flush the tranny, to help ensure all the old stuff is removed. I just had that done on my TA last month.
I used Mobil synthetic ATF, mainly because that's what the shop used, and because I use Mobil-1 oil too. I've read decent things about it over the years, but have no real clue where it generally ranks compared to other brands.

No no, I in no way took offense at it, no worries. I knew it was just more info, as you say...
