Question What Fluid to use

I have a TH350 with a full manual valve body I will probably get it rebuilt before to long but here is my question... the pan gasket is slightly leaking so I'm going to replace it and I want to know what kind of fluid should I use to fill it back up.
1. Dex/merc
2. Dex/merc lll
3. Type F.....
And so on you get the point, and should I change the filter while I have the pan off??? I just want to know what is Good/Best!!! Because I want to use it now and after I get it rebuilt.

When I had a TH350 my builder recommended Type F.

Never use type F. That went out when they stopped using asbestos in clutches in 1978. A good quality Dexron type fluid is what you want to use here.
