I use Motul.

Strongly recommend you go to the Under the Hood forum and look for the oil journals thread, midnight.

If you track and are willing to change the fluid at least every 2 years, I like Ate Blue/Gold alternately.

The best DOT3 fluid I know of is Motorcraft Super Premium from Ford.

I am amused by Valvoline Synpower - all brake fluids are synthetic as they are glycolic in origin. It is an OK fluid though - just marketing hype trying to make hay over its name.
