Here's the 2000 Firebird owners manual:
http://shbox.com/pdf/2000firebird.pdf
Off the shelf oils: Valvoline, Pennzoil, Mobil One. Syntetics are good here.
Off the shelf oil filters: Mobil One extended, K&N, Wix/Carquest, Hastings.
Stay away from cheep or store brand oils and Fram, Champion, Pennzoil, STP and store brand oil filters.
Rear end fluid: Synthetics can cause more issues than they help and are not needed for the low temperatures and pressures seen in gears. Reach for Lucas non-synthetic.
Brake fluid, Castrol LM.
Good luck with the car! Any pics for us?
