Default Typ Fluid Changes

What are the standard Mileages to change the Tranny-Diff-Brake fluids
Are the Honda fluids good enough, or are aftermarket better
Im a new owner so trying to ramp up insight about this car

Any Honda fluid will work. But Never ever buy or use a Honda Differential fluid.

If you ask 12 people,you will likely get 12 diff answers.

No set rule.Here is what I have done on all my cars.A combined total of 441k miles AND 50 years of combined service.

Trans:Every year or 15k miles.Amsoil MTF

Diff :Every year or 15k miles.Amsoil SG 75-110

Brake & Clutch:Turkey baster method at every Oil Change:5k miles.Prestone Dot 4.

Fluids are cheap.....hard parts are not.

IMO.

^ both very good answers. first you need to know what your intentions with the car are. if its just a daily driver then go with whats suggested. and everyone has different levels of comfort. i change my fluids once a season since my car is only used for autocross. you can use all honda fluid as suggested except the diff fluid. unless you happen to get lucky and find the right one. lol, i use amsoil everything. nothing but OEM filter for me.and please for the love of god torque it down to proper specs.
