Default Clutch Fluids, tell me about them

Hey guys, I couldn't find a whole hell of a lot on here about clutch fluids other than to stay away from Dot 5 formulas. I am going to be installing an LS7 clutch next week and I am not sure what fluid I should go with.

Are "Super Dot 4's" and "Dot 4+" okay to put through the lines? I was thinking of the Wilwood EX600+ or ATE Super Blue.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Either of those will be fine, but most on here will say you are wasting your money (I do not think so), and to just use cheap, off the shelf, DOT 3/4.
IF you are going to flush it out every two months or so, I would almost agree with them, but IF you plan on leaving it in for a while I would go with the better stuff.

I use either; Motul RBF 600, Afco HTX 600, or if I have A LOT of coin to spare, Castrol Reflex SRF. (This is in the brakes as well.)
