Default Changing all fluids

Just bought my 05 c6 and it has about 27k on it now. Should I go ahead and change all the fluids since I dont know the service history of the car and also upgrade to a certain fluid brand?

I have that chatter from the rear diff at times and can get it covered under warranty but not sure if I should go with something better like a synthetic?

I would change all fluids including brake fluid as well. If radiator fluid isn't long life I would do a flush and change. This way you know where you stand.
