So to RE-repeat: off-the-shelf name-brand DOT4 or DOT5.1 is gonna be just fine for OP...

It seems you and I have had significantly different experiences with braking setups. I'm starting to be suspicious it's the S2000's fault! I've always run ATE200 (well, mostly super blue, same thing but blue and discontinued) and the only time I've had an issue with it I had a semi seized caliper (can't blame the fluid for having an issue with that!). Never needed to be re-bled and I think I swapped it after 2 seasons (but I only do ~5 events a season)
Still, I wouldn't say no to name brand dot 4/5.1. Motul stuff is too expensive for my tastes. 2-3x as much as ATE200 where I've looked.
