I used to go with ATE and never had any problems, but after looking at how baked the worn pads are, I decided to go with Motul 600. I flush and bleed every 6 months. Seems to work fine - no complaints and the brake pedal is always nice and stiff.

Most top end brake fluids are fine - and it can be debated forever just like motor oils. I run Motul 660 as that is what the previous owner ran and it's fine. I ran Amsoil in my S4 because I bled it much more often and it was pretty inexpensive.

+1 I did the exact same thing. Now using the Motul 600. Flushing the same schedule. I do bleed before the track each time.

Motul 600 has been flawless in my cars for 10 years. Not cheap but good.
