Stay away from the silicone based fluids. They are compressable and give a spongy/soft pedal. Stick to Dot 3, 4 or 5.1.

I use ATE Superblue and ATE TYP 200 (same fluid, one is gold one is blue so you can tell when you get fresh fluid, you just alternate between them each time you bleed the system). You can get it from most of the sponsors here it seems and it's great stuff.

Or, Valvoline Syn power is not bad stuff.
