synthetic brake fluid for 2nd gen

will be getting the marlin brake pads this week and thanks to a lot of good advice I will not be spending the big bucks on vented slotted rotors, braided brake lines, new shoes and drums etc. I learned that stock 4runner brakes are pretty good, and that rear shoes don't really need replacing all that often.
I also learned that a brake fluid flush can do wonders for pedal feel.
my question is about the best brake fluid to use for a complete flush. going with synthetic redline engine oil and royal purple xfer case and diff fluid was great and I am glad. I'm not finding a lot of information about synthetic brake fluid though, except an old confusing post about DOT 4 and 5 and 5.1 that I did not understand. Thanks for the name of the best brake fluid and how much I'll need, I'll buy it this week!
