Oil for Brake/Diff/Trans AutoX

I plan on doing a few AutoX's this year and wanted to change the brake, MTF and Diff fluid. I see some threads on this stuff but I want to know that company is preferred and oil to go with for each. It seems that they might need different types of oil.

Please fill in company and product, and maybe we can sticky this at some point. If you only have experience with only one category, then go right ahead and fill it in. any help is appreciated.

Brake:
Diff:
MTF:

Brakes: ATE Superblue.

I use em myself, and they've not boiled over. Plus, I used them in HPDEs, and no problems have ensued.
