Default Brake fluid

Anyone have recommendations for brake fluid/where to get it locally? I'm don't really want to use whatever Autozone carries and haven't been able to find any Ate or Motul around here...

Is it the Valvoline synpower? I've only seen the regular Valvoline, Prestone, and store brands around here. I'll try the dealership for the Motul, and if they don't have it I'll go with the Honda Dot3. I just don't want to put the cheaper stuff in the S. Thanks for the help!

I have 2 cans of ATE Amber type 200 in my garage and one of the ATE Super Blue. One can will do the entire flush. If you want one pm me.

BTW how was the autox?

Changed the brake and clutch fluid a couple says ago. Brake pedal feels better. Ate blue makes it easy. Also, clutch fluid was pretty dirty after less than a year (Honda replaced the slave cylinder at that time). That can't be good, right? I've had freeplay in the clutch pushrod, so I adjusted it out. Makes a difference.
