What type of brake fluid?

About ready to flush my brake fluid but confused on what type to get. All the searches talk about ATE Super Blue. I've got blue fluid now so I will flush with amber. Will the ATE SL.6 work? Or am I making too big a deal about this. None of my local stores carry ATE so I'll have to order it. Or will any DOT Type 4 fluid work? Car is not driven hard and up here, the weather neither gets too hot or cold, if that matters. I supposed I can get the fluid from the dealer but I'll probably pay an arm and leg (paid $30 for a gallon of Porsche coolant at the dealer a while back).

Edit: The SL.6 is a low viscosity fluid if that makes any difference.

Edit #2: Or should I use this: ATE TYPE 200 Amber Brake Fluid is designed to excel within the extreme demands made on a race vehicle or by high performance drivers and exceeds all DOT4 standards. It is compatible with and will mix well with most DOT3, DOT4 or DOT 5.1 fluids.
