Default Clutch Care

I just read an article that was linked here on the forum regarding how to change the hydraulic clutch fluid. After inspecting the fluid in my recently purchased C5 I can see it is overdue to be changed. The question in all of this is near the end of the article it mentions that GM recommends Super DOT4 brake fluid in manual transmissions. Has anyone here tried it yet? If so have you noticed any difference or should I stick with the fluid originally recommended in the manual?

Thanks in advance for the input.

DOT 3 is OK; DOT 4 is better.
