Speaking from personal experience.....
We used to bleed brakes after every session with our previous braking system. We literally went through a gallon of Motul brake fluid over a weekend. Since we upgraded the brakes to Performance Friction calipers & pads we don't have to worry about fluid fade anymore but we did get very familiar with different fluids in the process.
Castrol SRF is very good stuff. They are the champs at wet boiling points and are middle of the road for dry boiling points..... but we don't use it. Here is why...
With SRF once you boil the fluid it never quite recovers as well as some of the other options. If you experience fluid fade in the middle of the race or track session on SRF you'll have to baby it for at least a few laps. Once the fluid does recover, you essentially now have the same performance that a $3/bottle of brake fluid would give you.
We've been using Motul 660 for the past few years as it is one of the top performers in both wet & dry boiling points and has great recovery characteristics as well.
ATE Blue & Type200 = I guess you can't beat the price. Performance is ok.
Motul 600 = a little pricey for the performance. Good fluid but a pretty big difference compared to 660.
Motul 660 = excellent all around fluid.
AP PRF660 = I swear this is exactly the same as Motul 660. Just a different label.
Brembo LCF = good fluid. About the same as the Motul 600.
Neo Synthetics = good fluid but not worth the money. Costs a lot more than 660 for the same performance.
Elf something? = don't remember.
