I second the notion that DOT 5 fluid is excellent.  I've had it in my Spit 
since the late '80s - never needed to bleed or add fluid.  Still has a very 
firm pedal.

My Dad, on the other hand, had a slightly different experience.  He put it 
in his 120 Jag during restoration, and somehow, what he believes to be 
silicon "vapors" from the fluid, got on painted surfaces and was just a bear 
to get off.  Consequently, he's stopped using it.  I haven't had this 
problem.

YMMV.
