DOT 3-4 is the only way to go in normal applications, I agree with Ed.
DOT-5 (silicone fluid), does not absorb water, so if some water
contamination is present (and that will happen because of condensation),
the water will usually sink to the lowest point in the lines, callipers
or cilinders and cause havoc which will remain unnoticed untill to late.
Also the pedal is less hard than with DOT3 or 4.
DOT 5 is OK if you heat up your brakes to the extreme e.g. in
racing/rallying as the boiling point is higher but you have to flush
your system very frequently.
