ATE Super Blue is what I use. I purchased it from a vendor on ebay for really cheap. But again, I purchased 5 cans at onced.

ATE Superblue for me (or the gold version which is the same, just a different color to make it easy when you change the fluid to get a full flush).

Motul 600 is also very good and there is a slightly less rated but much less expensive and more available synthetic fluid from Valvoline (Valvoline Synthetic) you can get in almost any car parts store. If you aren't going to track or drive super hard, I'd recommend that stuff to save you some hassle and expense.
