Brake Fluid Recommendations

Hello all. Doing the brakes on my truck and I would like some input as to what a good brake fluid would be; since I'm planning on doing a full fluid replacement.

EDIT: I realize that I can replace DOT 3 fluid with DOT 4; would that be a suggested course of action?

I was thinking about this product:
Blue Fluid

Thanks!

Plain ol' Dot-3 is A-OK. I use whatever they have on the shelf. As long as the seal is intact, it's all about the same.

I prefer the vavoline syn-power dot 3/4 fluid, it seems to give a bit better pedal feel.
