Default Looking for someone to check over my fluid list!

Im going to be supplying the fluids when i get my Geo done soon (since I dont really trust honda and prefer a specialist to work on my car!) and was wondering if someone could make sure im buying the most compatable correct fluids for my car (and quantitys!). (2004 facelift)

Brake Fluid - MOTUL DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID 100% synthetic fluid for hydraulic actuated-brake and clutch systems DOT 3-1 (2 litres for flush and clutch)

Diff Fluid - Motul 90 PA Lubricant limited slip differential (LSD) Extreme pressure-2 litres

Gearbox Oil - Honda MTF (or one from Opie Oils thats as good? But from what ive read the Honda one seems very good for combating the notchy gearbox?)

Do i also need to buy new washers and plugs for the diff and gearbox as well or do people use their old ones still for these after a change?

Thanks alot for any advice on my oil choices!

I've done some research on the diff and gearbox oils and what I have found is:

Gearbox, either Honda MTFIII or Motul v300 Gear 75W90.
Best change plugs as well:
drain: 94109-14000 WASHER, DRAIN PLUG (14MM)
filler: 94109-20000 WASHER, DRAIN PLUG (20MM)

Diff, Motul 90PA (as you say)
filler: 90402-PCZ-003 GASKET
drain: 90401-PCZ-003 GASKET

Rear Diff only holds 0.7ltrs so no need to buy 2ltrs, if you planned on changing it again at a later stage, buy it again then so you get fresh stuff.
