Valvoline Dot 3 and 4 Fluid synthetic. Its a Kragen or Orielly and is the most expensive but has the highest boiling point there.

I use Valvoline Dot 3 and 4 brake fluid, as well (in the tan bottle). Buy two bottles. Go through the majority of one to do the bleed and keep the other one just in case you need to do a future bleed or something goes wrong (since it sounds like you're trying to prepare).
