Anecdotal, but ATE 200 is one that for me underperformed relative to parts-store DOT4. Had to bleed after one day at Watkins Glen in the S2000. Next event went back to either Castrol or Pennzoil DOT4 and it lasted three 2-day events, with the car co-driven at one of them, without any bleeding.
More recently I had a race shop working on the car flush/bleed brakes on the BRZ (w/ Brembos) before an event with Motul (RBF600 I think). Same thing! 2nd day at the track, had to bleed calipers.
Never any issues with parts-store DOT4/DOT5.1 making it through at least three 2-day events.
Again, anecdotal, and frankly mystifying, but easy and cheap enough to just run what works best for me...
