Brake fluid suggestions

Im upgrading a bunch of the brake system on the car to get it better for AutoX and track days. Since Im going to be draining the system, any input on what brake fluid I should run in the car for a slightly higher performance application, but that wont fall flat when on the street?

Seems ATE Superblue is the standard answer. May pick this up when my Hawk HPS pads and my stainless lines come in.

Superblue. <-

You'll notice there is also super-red. The only difference between the two is color, it helps you identify that you have flushed the entirety of the old fluid.

also if your going for autocross why are you using hawk hps pads instead of the ferodo pads?

There is a gold color called type 200. This is what you flush the blue stuff with when it is time to flush.
