As far as DOT3 vs DOT4, the one thing I like about DOT4 better is that it is less hygroscopic. This means it has less of a tendency to pull moisture out of the air, which ruins the fluid. In turn, that means you can use the whole bottle of fluid without worrying about its contamination from having been opened.

...and it's all I buy now and have on the shelf. Its usually within a buck or so of the DOT 3. Worth the extra shilling.
