Brake fluid choices

I might go with this Bosch DOT 3/4/5.1 brake fluid that I saw on Amazon. I think it has a 520 F dry boiling point rating, which is really good for being a multi-DOT rated brake fluid. Sometimes, I'll mix different ratings, but often times, it will usually be like a cheap DOT 4, with a high quality DOT 4.

Didn't know they existed when I put the brakes in, heck until this post. I tried regular Motul with 4 piston brakes and it did not work, so I went straight to SRF because that is what a lot of the big power track guys were using. Maybe I'll try it one day if I start tracking more, but SRF is $60 a quart so I have to ask myself is it really worth $30 for something I only do once a year. Now, if I were just installing ZL1 brakes, I would surely consider it as I certainly got sticker shock when I first purchased SRF.
