Most readily available brake fluid is DOT4. Different DOT4 fluids have different boiling points, different water absorption rates and different wet boiling points, so pick the best one. If your car sees occasional track work, then I'd recommend DOT 5.1. This is around $40 a litre. True racing spec brake fluid has a dry boiling point of 300 degrees C. However it is very expensive, is quite hygroscopic and the wet boiling point is lower than some of the DOT 5.1 stuff, such that ideally you ought to bleed it very frequently. That becomes pretty expensive - OK if you're racing for sheep stations, but not if it's just for fun.
Look here for a chat about some different bleeding techniques.
