What fluid you should use depends on your usage case. For daily driving or autocross use, any DOT3 compliant fluid will be fine. For extended spirited driving through the hills or forests, generally any a DOT 5.1 compliant fluid will be fine. Finally, for track/lapping use, get a proper high temp fluid. The lowest I would recommend is something like Motul RBF600 or equivalent but be aware that the pedal may go soft after events until you perform a partial bleed. Better fluids are available for more extreme usage cases.
As for my personal bleeding habits, I bleed once a year now with Castrol SRF React. I like it because it never fades, doesn't need partial bleeds like cheaper fluids and only needs to be bled once a year. It's really expensive but as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for.
