Default Brake Fluid

I am upgrading my base C6 brakes. I bought EBC Yellow stuff pads, stop tech stainless braided lines, and slotted/drilled rotors. I am going to flush the brake fluid to put something new like Motul 600 or Typ 200 (Super Blue) etc. I am doing some auto x and spirited back road driving with the ocassional track day What type of fluid do you guts recommend?

ATE Type 200 is fine for your usage. It's inexpensive and has a good dry boiling point. You're better off flushing your fluid more often with ATE than spending 3x the cost (ie SRF) to get a fluid with a superior wet BP, which is still lower than fresh ATE.
